"Cage's MUSHROOM BOOK, and his textual allegories in general,
provide explicit directions (both literally and figuratively) for making
a mystory. By means of the rhizome and mushrooms I want to insist on
the place of memory as an actual ground, the earth in its materiality,
and as a cultural environment as well, specific to each individual in
relation to a community place. The rhizome or mushroom is planted in the
place of memory, of one's own public and private past."
