Working with Soil
The project understands craft making as a valuable embodied practice through which to (re)consider the relationship between human and nature. The transdisciplinary research, aims to explore the human imprint to the geological environment with artistic methods combined with chemical analysis. The context of this study is the contaminated sediments of the Venice lagoon. The project builds on a collaboration with professional artist-researchers from Aalto University’s Department of Design and the experts of contaminated soil from the Finnish Environment Institute SYKE.
