With this project,  I will be exploring, working with, and accessing similarities, contradictions, ethics, specific material qualities, and family traditions. I will be experimenting with organic materials that can be composted and that can hold many forms, purposes, and functions. At the same time, I will be mitigating environmental degradation. By experimentally making charcoal with the remains of consumed foods – coffee, avocado pits and skins, and eggshells for example – I will search and play with the qualities of each substance to develop both mediums to work with and content for my artwork.
