Ailsa Munro

With almost microscopic accuracy, Munro’s work focuses on the vegetative world, the topic of climate change and the de- and re-wilding of our planet - an interconnected network of living organisms that often appear still, but fizz with energy and life. Munro’s latest series explores hyper-intelligent networks operating beneath the surface, looking closely at the role mycelium and soil health play in the survival of Earth. Drawn from observational studies and digitised into imagined environments. Living in the city, Munro’s connection to nature comes, in part, from the plants she nurtures in her home. Propagating and growing plants has long inspired her work, as has the reciprocal relationship between human beings and the natural world, the individual and the collective.
