“Sympoiesis is a simple word; it means “making-with.” Nothing makes
itself; nothing is really autopoietic or self-organizing”
These pieces are made of various clay bodies, yeast, willow, spiders, and, alliums, mould, moss, and mycelium. They are both growing and regenerating while they deteriorate. They are microcosmic examples of collaborative survival and the tensions and frictions in “making-with”.
