I have also been “haunted” by lichens for many years. Lichens are composite organisms that arise when algae or cyanobacteria (or both) live within fungi in what is known as a “symbiotic relationship” that results in the combined life forms having properties that are very different from the individual components of each. The Lichens As Art Collection contains images of lichens in a variety of colors, sizes, shapes, and forms which renders them a rich source for “natural abstracts” to photograph. The composite of color, shape, form, design, texture and substrate combine to create natural art that is unique with each composition.
