The Warp of Symbiogenesis


When beings interact for a long time, it is referred to as symbiosis. Lynn Margulis coined the term symbiogenesis to describe the evolutionary power of symbiosis. We have warped that process of evolution through human, i.e. technological, intervention.

The Warp of Symbiogenesis is a weaving collection that translates five stories of invisible interactions around us into textiles. For each type of symbiosis, a different binding is used to symbolise the way species interact with each other. The collection is made from wool and linen sourced in Europe and brings attention to the intimate entanglements we have with beings around us, and they have to each other.
