Collection of tests with different biomaterials, carried out during the residency process.

This series includes experiments with materials of a natural origin, exploring their plastic properties, textures and their possibilities of transformation. We worked with agar-agar, glycerin and alginate, combined with samples of seaweed collected in the Cantabrian Sea, as well as with oyster shells, sea urchins, razor clams, limpets and mussels discarded by restaurants in the city of Gijón, thus integrating a cycle of waste utilization in the research.

This activity was supported by a grant from Fundación Municipal de Cultura, Educación y Universidad Popular del Ayuntamiento de Gijón/Xixón
