"Fungi, another focus in her practice, get their nutrients from the soil or wood in which they grow. [...] Dudek gives a foggy glimpse into this world beneath. The half see-through pigmented resin shimmers within a metal frame; bathing inside are mushrooms of all kinds. The expansion of the Fruiting Bodies series resembles an intimate and maternal state. It is the magical, as well as fearful and always unknown moment of reproduction the artist has captured within the motif. The self-cleansing of something that is neither fruit nor animal, an organism that replicates itself. Dudek creates an environment that works with intimacy and occupation, and within the basin of mystical water it becomes bodily."
