About the Item

"Mycelium - World Wide Web" is a one-of-a-kind statement artwork. Handmade with pure Portuguese wool yarn with anti-moth treatment, with portuguese black cork mirror frame and a textile sculpture element. Using tufting and carving techniques, the bass-relief is carved with scissors, creating different heights and a textured based landscape. Mycelium is a fascinating biological structure that plays an essential role in ecosystems and in biology and ecology research. This network of microscopic filaments (represented with textile sculpture), 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. “Mycelium World Wide Web” is a piece that invites us to reflect on human beings role on the planet. Using different materials, shapes and textures, we seek to create a parallel between the technological world and the natural world and raise interest in this subject, whose research is still in its beggining and much has yet to be uncovered. 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. By focusing on a virtual network, aren't we distancing ourselves from the crucial network that surrounds us? Are we really (dis)connected? 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.
