Abstract :
This paper explores the mutualistic symbiosis between animals and insects to their nests in their local environment through an artistic research project within which jewellery is produced and explored in the text. I focused on the imagery and methods of nest building of multiple animals and insects. Organic symbiosis is explored through notions of materiality, cocreation, locale, biomimicry and evolution. The research is supported by multiple crucial texts by the climate activist and world renown theorist Rosi Braidotti. I examine these texts alongside my own methods and practice.
Keywords: Anthropocene, symbiosis, humanimal, rhizomatic thinking, posthumanism, social behaviour |
