Mycoweaving was my undergrad final project; mycelium has been both a teacher and a collaborator. Grounded in regenerative practices and an ecofeminist approach, this project seeks to redesign established colonial, patriarchal, and capitalist design practices into one that fosters community, regeneration, and a deeper connection with nature.
This ongoing research project explores mycelium's ability to grow on and between textile fibres, acting as a natural binder and transforming textile waste into regenerative biomaterials.
Blending science and design, I have worked with and like mycelium. Through a series of material research and explorations, including growing mycelium in a lab, this project proposes a different approach to developing new materials, based on collaboration and regeneration.

What are mycelium composites?
Sustainable materials made by combining and growing mycelium on a substrate such as sawdust or textile scraps.
