Biomaterial Exploration
Biomaterial Death Cafe
Hosted with Annabel Cator and Namita Bhatnagar through the Biodesign Collective
We hosted a facilitated conversation on death and decay within a held space, paired with a DIY biomaterial workshop exploring death and regeneration on both micro and macro scales. Participants worked with materials such as alginate, bone meal, glycerine, and found organic matter.
Held at the Dalston Eastern Curve Garden in London, UK
Native Seedbomb Flyers
For ITD 330T ECO-DSGN: MULTISPECIES FUTURES
Grass-paper seed bombs made from Austin-native Cherokee Sedge pulp, bound with mucilage extracted from okra, and embedded with Texas native wildflower seeds. Inks made from beet and hibiscus and thickened with gum arabic. Seed bombs were distributed to promote native biodiversity.
Cyanotype with Native Plants Workshop
For the University of Texas Beekeeping Society
I hosted a cyanotype workshop for the University of Texas Beekeeping Society, beginning with an overview of the chemistry behind cyanotyping and its reliance on sunlight. Participants then created their own prints using objects they brought as well as local flora, forming a connection to the surrounding environment.
