Be like a mushroom

Symbiosis,’’ by Natick, Mass.-based Rebecca McGee Tuck, in Boston Sculptors Gallery’s “Confluence’’ group show Feb. 1-Feb. 25.

The gallery says:

“Rebecca McGee Tuck takes inspiration from fungi, nature's own recyclers, digesting organic matter and replenishing the soil. Her mushroom sculpture erupts in a raucous celebratory array of colorful materials, urging us to emulate the mushroom’s mutual partnership and adopt mushroom-like practices—reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle—to sustain a harmonious relationship with our planet.’’

The former town seal of Natick, depicting John Eliot preaching to the Indians, set over a book representing the first Algonquian Bible.
