Materials–Based Research Grant
2017
The objective of this material based research grant was to develop an approach that uses bacteria to grow three dimensional cellulose forms. Many craft processes utilize biologically produced cellulose, such as wood. Traditional craft approaches to making from life typically employ a grow-harvest-make sequence that primarily utilizes subtractive processes.
