Dyer's Clutch
The fabric tinted By what consumes Those who have fallen Are devoured in turn
Dyer's Polypore emerges from an old pine stump, the twigs and needles of years past settled on the ground are consumed by the growth. (Phaeolus schweinitzii)
The Autumn is the time of year to grieve the dead, to grieve for change and to prepare to rest. The bodies reduced to skeletons, the flesh falls away. The scavengers will come - the detritivores - who will turn the flesh back to earth. The cycles in nature are persistent, and we must prepare for our next hibernation. This series celebrates another cycle, and explores the signals for the coming winter.
