'The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.' Albert Einstein

I decided to use my drawings of mushrooms from the Horniman Museum in this project. I felt that the nature of mushrooms was mysterious: their colour, shape, their connection with fantasy and fokelore, their potentially deadliness and the way they can just appear overnight!

















I looked at psychedelic posters and wanted to create a 'trippy' style print. I'm not that happy with the outcome!




















After I had completed the print I started to consider the context of the quote. With Einstein in mind I did a couple of sketches, I'm quite interested in looking into the 'golden ratio' further.
