Full gallery on the artist's site.
I don't find the interview very interesting, but the photos are indeed beautiful. I love finding beauty in things we wouldn't necessarily think are beautiful.
And really, macrophotography can make almost anything seem beautiful.

Objectively they are quite lovely. I really had to actively choke back my squick factor/disgust though, and try to view them only as a purely visual and abstract picture.

So the secret to beauty is turning off the lights, getting really close and using the flash?

English bulldog smoking a cigar.
Off camera he is playing poker and with one back paw is holding an ace under the table.

No, no, he's demanding to know where Peter Porker's latest photos of Spider-Ham are.
I know, I know

I'm having a strange reaction to this. I don't want to look at any one of the photographs for too long, lest I inhale some of the spores. They make me feel like I want to wash my hands.

For me, it's not working. Not beautiful. Interesting...and gross.

If by "beautiful" you mean "disgusting," then, yes.

These images are fascinating landscapes of life made rich through feasting on decay.
Oh, lush green and lustful life
Wrap me in a cloak of pungent decay
Let me stay amongst the rotting
Let me stay like some forgotten guest
in the garden.

As a kid, I read an article about growing a mold garden on bread, so, naturally, I did.
Mostly grew penicillium, as the article suggested I would - in fact, that might have been the goal of the article. Also grew some whitish mold.
As I was allergic to both mold (in general) and penicillin (in particular), Mom wasn't pleased when she discovered my garden in the closet next to my headboard.
Eh, I lived. And remember it. And became a mushroom hunter.
