eternal-fungi is an art project by Christian Werner, a foundry artist based in Lower Saxony, Germany, whose practice is nourished by a deep fascination with fungi and traditional craftsmanship. Since the Covid pandemic he has patiently taught himself metalworking and casting techniques, turning quiet years of observing the forest into sculptures that echo the precision of nature as closely as possible. In each work, nature remains the true author; Werner lends it weight and time, casting fleeting, fragile forms into bronze so they can linger long after the mushrooms themselves have disappeared.​
