Kentucky Fried Fungus

This artwork thoughtfully presents the striking forms of Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus sulphureus), a fungus known for its bright yellow to orange fan-shaped brackets with wavy edges. The fungi seem to float against a minimalistic cream background, punctuated by a bold blue circle and golden rectangles that subtly echo the fungi's natural palette. Layered and fleshy in appearance, the textural quality of the fungi's rounded overlapping layers conveys their soft, almost velvety freshness, inviting closer examination. The composition balances natural organic complexity with geometric simplicity, reflecting both the fungi's biological origins and an abstract aesthetic sensibility.
