About the art suite

While walking through the woods on the way home from a long day o mushroom picking, you come across a curious patch of funghi that looks particulary tasty. Feeling hungry from your adventure, you decide to pick one and take a bite. After doing so, a strange feeling washes over you and your senses become heightened as the forest begins to grow. You come to realize  suddenly that the forest is not growing, it it you that is shrinking You keep shrinking until you are the size of an insect. What was once the forest floow you walked on, us now a jungle of Jurassic proportions. 

"This can't be happening", you tell yourself. 
"This must be a dream"
"I'm going to lay down, take a deep breath, close my eyes, relax and everything will be back to normal. This is only a dream"... Or is it?

Guests of The Mushroom will be transported to a microscopic interpretation of the forest floorand invited to relax whitin the substrate of the woods amongst the leaves, mushrooms and creatures that inhabit this hidden world.
