Mixed media, paper, clay, beeswax, and Asian hornet nest.
Psychaedi is a fictional character; in a new world, a post-human creature has transformed his body and instincts to survive machine supremacy. Psychaedi need to re-generate themselves through profound interaction with nature. Nature reasserts itself in a constant exchange between bodies where the human animal becomes equal to all the other animated and animated beings in nature. Taking after the Asian hornet’s disappearing ways of construction, the cocoons present specific bionic models of structural development in space. These cases are constructed from recycled paper and environmental materials: local soil, dust, and small plants.
