Printing Herbarium
Una colección de texturas vivas
La serigrafía es un método de impresión popular y versátil. Por desgracia, consume mucha agua y genera residuos considerables. Siguiendo un planteamiento fitocéntrico, este "Herbario de impresión" desafía los métodos tradicionales de añadir texturas a las superficies. Explora nuevas formas de impresión mediante la incorporación de organismos vivos, concretamente musgo. El objetivo de este proyecto es crear una colección de texturas vivas que abarque los procesos de la naturaleza y los combine con las técnicas de impresión tradicionales. Esto permite explorar nuevas posibilidades para los materiales vivos.
