One of the key elements of my Bio Art practice is a process based approach that engages with the collaboration of living organisms. For the silkworm project, this process was growing my own silkworm colony in a silkworm nursery that I built in my art studio. The process lasted 10 weeks, which is the lifespan of a silkworm from hatching the egg to emerging the cocoon as moths. 

​

This complex project involved the daily ritual of feeding and cleaning the 20 silkworms that collaborated in my art project. Through observation and engagement with this process, I was able to translate it into a final installation/sculpture/sound piece "Human bodies tumbled into silkworm bodies"
