The Biomimicry Project asks its participants to think of their product as a process. Through the process of design, production, consumption and disposal, Biomimicry Project producers work to BIOMIMIC - to integrate, to honor, to open a dialogue with, to give visibility to, and to be inspired by – the natural processes which run parallel and play an integral part in their production. "We are a part of the natural world, not separate from it, and have a shared path with reciprocal actions: while we impact hard on nature, nature also influences us. Giving form to this connectedness and reciprocity is a key part of sustainability" (Sustainable Textiles). The Biomimicry Project utilizes nature’s solutions to illuminate the relationship between human and natural systems.
Adriane Colburn has contributed her Episodes project, which were produced as an edition of ten hand-cut Digital prints with ink, published by Gallery 16, San Francisco.
Zoe Alexander Fisher curated the Biomimicry Project and created The Biomimicry Project coat. This couture coat is a product and a process; Hand felted with 100% organic undyed wool (which is an excellent nitrogen fertilizer for soil) and inlayed with vegetable garden seeds, this coat is meant to be worn during the winter season and then planted in the earth during the spring to create a food producing organic garden in the summer. The coat can be ordered in custom sizes and will be made to order.
