As part of the course Sustainable Systems I teach at Parsons Paris, students discovered Mycelium as a material. In a hands-on workshop, they were encouraged to experiment with a variety of discarded organic substrates, such as coffee grounds, shredded paper, cardboard and natural fabric scraps in order to explore different possible characteristics.

I have been experimenting with mycelium (vegetative part of mushrooms) cultivating it on hemp and cotton fabric scraps. Acting like a natural glue holding the substrate together, it can be moulded into almost any shape. Once dried, Mycelium has some incredible material properties: it is lightweight, water-and fire-resistant and biodegradable, adding nutrients to the soil. More to come soon..
I collaborated with Grace Pappas of the Aerocene foundation to bring Parsons Paris First Year students in my Space & Materiality course to a workshop at Palais de Tokyo. Over three afternoons, students were introduced to the foundation’s open-source interdisciplinary exploration of environmental issues and had the chance to develop and build our project ‘Ephemeral Conditions’ in the workshop space of Tomás Saraceno’s exhibition ON AIR.

For the final project of my Space/Materiality course at Parsons Paris I asked students to create ephemeral installations from found materials and objects.
The goal was to explore the aspect of time and to study how the materials interact with their surrounding space, as well as the role of the creator and the observer of the transitory mise-en-scène.

It looks like my passion for twine and its capability to modify or enhance an object has also taken over my still lifes.
