Lobaria pulmonaria, or tree lungwort, is lichen which is found in lush, damp, coastal regions including the Outer Hebrides and Western Isles. Once plentiful, the presence of this species indicates healthy, old growth woodland. Its distinctive appearance resembles lung tissue, hence the name. Tree lungwort was once plentiful but is under threat now due to climate change.
My piece, Lobaria pulmonaria, is a 3-D paper representation of this important species.
