The rock was something else first.
So was the lichen.
Orange and yellow crusts working the edge of a white quartz boulder.
It is not a plant. It is a fungus and an alga living as one organism, and it is dissolving the stone it sits on — the first step in making soil. Crustose lichens grow on the order of half a millimetre a year. A patch the width of your hand has been at it for roughly a century and a half.

Shipping & returns
Free shipping on every U.S. order, built into the price rather than added at checkout. Printed when you order it: production runs 2–6 business days, plus transit. Most orders arrive within a week; a large canvas can take up to two.
Damaged, defective, or the wrong piece? I replace it at no cost — email within 30 days with photos. Because each piece is made for your order, I cannot take it back for a change of mind, so if you are unsure about size, message me first. Full terms: Shipping and Returns.
