BA Art and Design
I’m Laura, a designer and printmaker exploring fungal biomaterial within the home. MycoLiving is a co-designed, mycelium-led project that visually represents and reflects the process of working with living materials. Through handcrafted vessels, MycoLiving transitions from fungi to fibres to objects, revealing how mycelium’s collaborative and adaptive properties can be adopted within humanity to create more symbiotic, regenerative ways of living for all species.
Collection of Vessels exploring mycelium’s adaptation, collaboration and ability to embrace change. Materials include mycelium grown in denim and hessian sack, and mycelium-straw composite sheet.
