Mycelium is a fascinating biological structure that plays an essential role in ecosystems and in biology and ecology research. This network of microscopic filaments, associated with fungi, is a vital part of the natural processes that sustain life on Earth. Hidden among the world of plants and animals, it plays a critical role in the decomposition of organic matter, the recycling of nutrients and the formation of symbiotic relationships, thus being fundamental in the cycle of nature from birth, to death and rebirth. Mycelium is a kind of natural internet, which connects all of nature.
It is now known that fungal composites are the recently implemented technology that fulfills the concept of the circular economy, being used in different applications, such as medicine, food, packaging, architectural projects, insulation and textiles.These incredible life forms could be the key to solving some of humanity’s most pressing problems.
Estudio OHXOJA is a Portuguese textile art studio, based in Costa da Caparica, a small beach paradise near Lisbon, that seeks to have an original approach inspired by the sea and nature. Catarina Cruz and Tiago Amaral, self-taught textile artists, manually produce contemporary tapestries in Portuguese wool, for the wall or the floor using various techniques, from punch needle to tufting gun and textile sculpture. The bass-relief is carved with scissors, accentuating shapes, light and shades. Each piece is unique and unrepeatable, reflecting emotions or memories and providing both visual and tactile experiences for those who purchase it. Raising awareness of how human behavior impacts the environment is one of the concerns in their creations.
