Fabric of Nature, A artistic study of my body’s biotope and biomaterials

Abstract

This project is on one side a scientific process of creating new sustainable materials and on the other a artistic research of what it means to be part of nature. The biomaterials that have been explored include: alganyl, bioplastic, eggshell and coffee composites but also living material such as bacteria and mycelium. The artistic subject of research has been my own body. Through understanding the intricate biotope that is the human body, I hope to bring an understanding of what it means to be part of nature.
