By manipulating the substrate necessary for mycelium (Reishi) to reproduce itself, Darya's vision came alive as “newborns" (she used a mold of a baby doll head to establish the connection), which were inoculated with mushrooms spores. With the help of custom made incubators the mycelium (and other unexpected “neighbors") had spread taking over the shape of the sculpture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54591a0fe4b0c7bc00a14f90/1422378961035-6NWLCI4B8EHR6THM1J8Z/ecoli2+copy.jpg Projects - Portrait of 'Escherichia Coli' 01 16"x24", digital print, 2014 The series of digital prints were inspired by the Escherichia Coli - a genetically engineered bacteria which fluoresces under UV light. The portrait of bacteria was painted with bacteria itself which, after a 48 hour incubation period, added its own unique signature to the artwork, creating a collaborative piece with Darya. With the help of microscopy Darya examines different parts of the portrait through digital prints - a meditation of modern day obsessions with ourselves when we constantly put our lives under microscope, literally and metaphorically. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54591a0fe4b0c7bc00a14f90/1421701369856-SDDG1RX70SRNQ5NI9BUR/%2522+Pyrocistis+Fusiformis%2522%2C+2014.jpg Projects - ' Pyrocystis Fusiformis ' Detail, 8’x14’, foam, fabric, LED lights, tanks, pumps, plexiglass, seawater, living matter -'Pyrocystis Fusiformis ‘, 2014   ' Pyrocystis Fusiformis ' is an interactive installation, which focuses on merging scale of two different environments — macro and micro.

Being from Belarus this tragedy is personal to me, though I do not live there anymore but the rest of my family is. The vivid color of the abstracted bodies celebrates life and brings viewer's attention that the each of them is missing a body part or parts - the birth defects caused by radiation exposure most of the time lead to disfigurement, which is considered a taboo topic of society’s casual conversation. I would like to change that through engaging the viewer into a dialog through the prism of my work and bring more awareness to this matter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54591a0fe4b0c7bc00a14f90/1431376286522-GX829CEWOP7DY9IGZK3N/ts%2314%2822%2522x28%2522%E2%80%8B+mixed+media%2C+201%E2%80%8B4%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B%29.jpg Projects - Tissue Sample #14, mixed media, 22"x28", 2014 Series of mixed media paintings inspired by dreams of distant worlds and Earth's microscopy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54591a0fe4b0c7bc00a14f90/1420753518984-3C48XRDMNOL6VCAZV6UR/skin+cancer.JPG Projects - 'Cutis ' (Skin) Rapid Prototype Plaster, 6"x7"x3.5", mirrored plexiglass, 2012 Metamorphosis, the idea of mutation, inspired by hybrid organisms and body tissues and manipulated into the series of sculptures, using displacement mapping of ESM ( Electron Scanning Microscope) cancer cells images, fungi, microorganisms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54591a0fe4b0c7bc00a14f90/1578399379314-HRDYOPVXO2ZC8I7JJH4C/image.jpg Projects - growing giants Growing Giants, collected seeds, soil, fabric, speaker, grow light, Elevator A, Silo City , Buffalo, 2018 Growing Giants is a site-specific sound/life installation exploring the historical roots of Silo City, Buffalo. Once a major grain hub in the 19th century it is still operational but on a much smaller scale with the majority of the buildings and surroundings becoming a public art space. For this work, the seeds were collected on-site and sprouted in one of the grain elevators. The grow lights were mounted inside to assist with the growth. The sound of sprouting and growing seeds was streamed through the cone-like shape of the Grain Elevator, which acted like a giant amplifier bouncing the sound and creating an immersive experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54591a0fe4b0c7bc00a14f90/1492447104130-CJHU4T6K4425MVHQCGHH/%2522Tribute+to+Edison+%2522+%2C+2013+.png Projects - Tribute to Edison 4'x8', wood, acrylic paint, (plexiglass, light bulbs, fishing line, living matter - ‘pyrocystis fusiformis ‘ ( bioluminescent algae), 2013 “Tribute to Edison “ - an interactive installation of suspended light bulbs filled with bioluminescent algae (founded in warm coastal waters) attached to the enlarged laser cutouts of the microscopic images of the algae as a single cell. The viewer is encouraged to touch the bulbs so the algae will react by producing the glow. The plankton light cycle was altered by Darya so the viewer can experience the artwork "in action" during day hours. The idea of biological control and substituting non-living material with living organisms is replayed in this artwork. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54591a0fe4b0c7bc00a14f90/1588266961057-WA9UURWBI2FW4MBQDJXI/IMG_1893.jpg Projects - MDigest Vol.1, Pleurotus eryngii, glass, Kurt Vonnegut “ Piano Player”, growth rate May10th 2019 Known as vigours decomposers of the cellulose-rich substrates, King Oyster mushrooms, purchased at Whole Foods and propagated at the artist studio, have been digesting the “ Piano Player since spring 2019.

The threshold changes every 9 points (corresponding with an average of 9 days of mycelium to develop a visible network) culminating in “ Reticulum mycelium”. The way the algorithm choosing specific marks is unknown - a mystery within. Simultaneously, the viewer is encouraged to interact with mycelium growth in real-time through “Reticulum hybrida” first by placing the ear onto the Petri dish, which acts as a mini amplifier. The humming noise emitted through the copper plate is a 220 Hz sine wave broadcasted for the duration of the open hours, hypothesized to assist with growth in living organisms. Here the source is hidden - by moving the dish around on the copper plate and identifying optimal hum volume the viewer is actively participating in the growth of Pleurotus ostreatus. The mycelium is growing on the paper, onto which the map of the urban collecting site of the species is laser etched. For the duration of the show, the “control” in the middle of the piece is anchored and only 3 other Petri dishes are allowed to be moved. The mycelium networks develop over time colliding all elements together into a reticulum. Within 2 weeks the mycelium was over-completed by common green mold, Trichoderma harzianum, which grew in circular patterns responding to the sound stimulation. The dishes were moved by the audience during the open hours except the ‘control’ in the middle, which did not produce any ‘rings’. This project continues to investigate nature and man-made patterns and networks. It raises the questions of care and control and possible collaborations between human and non-human agents towards the formation of the common ground for coexistence. Reticula investigates complex care-based networks we create through our interactions with nature, in this particular case through sound and with fungi. By interacting with the living organism the audience invents new cartographies and networks together, invisible at first but developing over time. Here the notion of Biophilia Hypothesis is applied to evoke the empathic response through assisting with growth thus establishing the care-connection with the living being. Since the network develops slowly the audience is encouraged to come back 2 weeks later to observe the collective result of invisible human/fungi network collaboration. This art and science project aims to facilitate a dialog on all-inclusive species hybrid spaces that needs to be created in order to establish a paradigm shift in the era of “Climate Change “. "Reticula" serves as an example of how science and technology can act as a possible vehicle for establishing eco-conscious interspecies collaborations.

The HydroEcologies series explores the hidden story of relationships between groundwater and human impact on climate along the Front Range Urban Corridor. Data from selected wells is transformed into a visual narrative using locally sourced materials to address the ongoing drought crisis in the area. We leave traces of our impact on the surrounding world that becomes a part of the unseen story of water. From November 2022- May 2023 I worked closely with Suzanne Anderson, Ph.D., USGS, and local communities to reveal the hidden narrative of groundwater- its history, data collection, and its relationship with local communities, and potential future through creating a series of activated light sculptures. The resulting sculptural work provides a complex narrative of the water reservoir hidden beneath our feet. For more information, see https://www.usgs.gov/publications/ground-water-and-surface-water-a-single-resource. The project is aimed to bring awareness to the drought issue, data collection of the wells, and its accessibility to the general public. The project invites participants to contribute by sharing insight on groundwater (usage, distribution, information and data availability, and other issues ). Darya has traveled to 5 locations and done talks and geolocation walks with different communities to hear the stories and record them via a collective drawing. In collaboration with Susan Anderson, Ph.D. Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado, Boulder.

The project culminates in a series of intentionally crafted wearable sculptures—each a one-of-a-kind artwork. Every piece is derived from my own microscopy images of plant cells, translated through laser-cut cork and finished by hand with non-toxic dyes. Their color palettes draw inspiration from spring and summer blooms as well as the rich chromatic diversity of mushrooms.

For this project I have combined various digital and alternative photo processes with sustainable art practices methodologies of artmaking. Amalgamated Landscapes is an ongoing series of cross-processed artworks - a multilayered map of my meandering through the local landscape of Colorado. Consciously collected natural artifacts—stones, bark, flowers, seeds, fungi, and more—were scanned and then returned to their place of origin. The resulting cyanotypes are each etched with a unique pattern that delineates the associated hiking path as recorded by GPS. Resembling wind movement and shadows, these “drawings” tell a story of artist and object in a time and place: the complex, changing ecology of Colorado. The heat and the burn of the laser amalgamated with cyanotype process embodies the sun, the sky, and surrounding landscape into one entity. The series were started during Covid-19 as a response to isolation, evolving into a project celebrating and examining local ecology. I worked with a local woodworker and framer to create one of a kind frames specific to the location. In the recent decades Climate Change has driven local populations of beetles to explode leading to Beetle Kill Pines . Vast forests of local Ponderosa Pines are being affected by disease- a combination of beetle and fungi infestation leading to destruction of 90% of forests in some counties. The artwork responds to these changes by being framed with Beetle KIll Pine, preserving as much of the original tunnels in wood as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54591a0fe4b0c7bc00a14f90/1766420844050-FZUODPBUAL7LD6JSCMEV/image.jpg Projects - 43°00'26.0"N 78°47'27.1"W Deconstructed Book, Laser-etched hand-made mushroom paper with GPS trails (10 pages), 6”x8” This project documents a season-long field investigation of saprophytic fungi in Letchworth Woods and the University at Buffalo campus. Through repeated walking, cycling, sustainable harvesting, spore printing, and mushroom-based papermaking, the work examines fungal life cycles, weather dependency, and decomposition processes. The project uses fungi as both material and method, mapping human movement and attention alongside the invisible mycelial networks shaping the forest ecosystem. During the fall of 2019, I spent nearly every other day cycling across the North Campus of the University at Buffalo and tracing looping paths through Letchworth Woods in search of specific mushroom species. The forest floor—dense with decaying organic matter—formed an ideal environment for saprophytic fungi, organisms essential to decomposition and soil regeneration. Over the course of the season, I logged close to 100 miles within a relatively small area, repeatedly circling the same terrain. Despite this sustained attention, my harvest remained unexpectedly sparse; some days yielded almost nothing. It was an unusually dry fall, and my daily movements became closely attuned to weather patterns and the University’s lawn-mowing schedules, both of which directly shaped fungal growth. My intention was to sustainably harvest local species, collect and store their spores for future propagation, and dry select specimens to create paper for a subsequent research project. Central to this work was nature’s own printmaking process: the spore print. Each mushroom holds the potential to produce multiple impressions, leaving behind delicate, particulate traces of its reproductive life. As the season transitioned from late-summer abundance into the first frost and eventual dormancy, I developed a deep, embodied connection to the woods. Over time, I felt less like an observer and more like a participant within the ecosystem, moving in seemingly aimless patterns in search of sustenance. I learned to move quietly, to slow my pace, and to train my vision to recognize subtle signs of fungal presence. Through this repeated wandering, my movements began to resemble large-scale drawings—my own ephemeral network layered atop the vast, unseen mycelial systems threading through the long-decaying forest. The work became a record of attention, patience, and coexistence, mapping human movement against fungal time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54591a0fe4b0c7bc00a14f90/1607438649202-RO9ZZYAQC7745XLAIV66/LTBloodOrange01.jpg Projects - LifeTextures/Blood Orange 0.1, digital print, 2017 Since spring 2017, I have been examining fruits and vegetables purchased from markets and grocery stores throughout New York City using a dissecting microscope and unconventional lighting techniques. Life Textures III is an ongoing series that explores the microscopic landscapes embedded within everyday produce. The project began with a blood orange purchased in the Meatpacking District. After several days of intentional exposure to decay, I cut the fruit open and began imaging its interior using an Olympus dissecting microscope, a Canon Mark III camera, and custom lighting methods developed through my art practice. These micro-landscapes—visible for only a brief window of time—are inherently ephemeral. By capturing forms that exist for just a few days, the work reflects on the transient nature of human existence and its fundamental dependency on food. How many blood oranges are harvested, consumed, and discarded each year? How many tomatoes, or other fruits and vegetables, follow the same cycle? By isolating a single specimen from millions circulating globally and freezing its micro-portrait in time, I construct an allegory of individuality and impermanence. Lost among countless others, we too disappear within space and time as we drift farther from the magnifying lens of the universe. Through Life Textures III, my close observations have deepened my awareness of the delicate complexity, diversity, and beauty of Earth’s superorganism. It is my hope that this heightened attention will transfer to the viewer, encouraging a renewed sense of care and curiosity toward the living systems that sustain us.

Darya used a map archive of Cripple Creek Gold Mine provided by the Western Museum of Mining and chose 8 maps of mine tunnels to be transformed into 3D sculptures. Traditional maps are usually created referencing the view from the top plane and were exclusively done by hand before the introduction of CAD software. Darya wanted the audience to experience the tunnels as sculptures, observing them in three-dimensional space. The sculptures were printed by MycoPrinter, a DIY clay-based printer. http://www.daryawarner.com/mycoprinter Darya built the printer to be able to print with various living substrates. For this project, a locally made clay was used and soil from Cripple Creek Gold Mine was incorporated into the sculptures. Each 2D map drawing (see the titles) was processed into 3D printable files. Due to the DIY nature of the MycoPrinter, it processes the files in a certain way resulting in a unique interpretation of each 2D map – some of them very much recognizable and some more abstract, affecting their stability – a few had partially collapsed either during printing or after. Darya wanted the audience to witness the “flaws”, resist the intention of “perfection correction” and immerse in intricate details of hidden topographies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54591a0fe4b0c7bc00a14f90/1698782177305-NUGL4YWIQAAHK3E2M991/HT3.jpg Hidden Topographies/Hybrid Matter Series - Hidden Topographies, 3D printed sculptures, local clay, soil from Cripple Creek Gold Mine, mirrored Plexiglas, 2.5”x 4”x 2”, 2023 “Hidden Topographies” explores the extrapolation of two- dimensional maps into 3D sculptural representations.
