Natural historian and environmental photographer
Alison Pouliot is a natural historian and environmental photographer who uses words, images and unexpected objects to evoke stories of the living world. She is especially interested in the ‘unregarded others’, particularly the fungal and the spineless.
Alison divides her time between hemispheres, mostly in the dirt, with people from all walks of life, seeking space for intuition and curiosity, serendipity and risk, and opportunities to foster the ‘ecologies of creativity’ necessary for an ecologically resilient and socially just future.
Her recent book The Allure of Fungi documents a forgotten corner of the natural world that is both beguiling and fundamental to life. Alison is an Honorary Fellow at the Australian National University.
