Calling Earth Stars

A collection of vinyl floor stickers with a layer of animated augmented reality created as a micro-commission for Core Theatre & Arts Complex, Solihull 'Small is Beautiful' programme 2022. Currently installed in the foyer next to the box office.

My piece was was inspired by four small earthstar fungi I spotted in the shrubbery in Theatre Square and an theory called 'cosmic biology' that postulates life could have travelled to our planet via fungal spores. I liked the idea that there could be a sort of conversation happening between the earthstars and the imaginative human activities in the theatre and library that might occur via their spores moving through the doors and throughout the building.
