Charli Rose Gerry is a multi-disciplinary artist and writer living and working on Gadigal Land, Sydney. Fascinated by the intimate relationships entangling humans with fungi, Charli engages mushroom foraging as an embodied research strategy that can attune to vital encounters with more-than-human existences. These interactions with fungi enable speculative exchanges of care and collaboration between the artist and situated ecologies. By co-creating paper-based assemblages with fungal beings, Charli’s practice offers us entrances to more ethical engagement across species.
Whilst in residence at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf, Charli continued her Fungus Paper Research Project - an ongoing material collaboration that upholds the agency and autonomy of fungi in creative encounter with humans. Embracing a de-centred approach to making-with locally foraged mushrooms, the artist’s new body of work focused on cultivating relations of curiosity and wonder in vibrant fungal worlds.
