Spores of Thought
"I based my zine on words I wrote during a hallucinogenic experience I had two years ago: it was an experience of pure unmediated clarity where I felt a complete oneness with the earth. The zine is called 'Spores of Thought' because my thoughts felt as though they flowed in mycelial patterns. I felt a tremendous cognizance of being, of myself as a node in my community akin to a spore in a mycelial network. I used the risograph medium to mimic the playfulness of psychedelic vision."
