BIOFIELD

In Flux_Biofield (2024) Ferracin collaborates with naturally occurring and hybridized materiality to enhance ecological connectivity and biodiversity awareness.

The artwork evidences the flows of living matter over a two-year period, growing onto four man-made waterproof polyester canvases left in the wild, an intimate exchange between the artist’s experimental process and its organic material agency.

Ferracin has let time to slow down the process and allow the weather exposure, the passage of animals, insects and organic matter to do the rest.

The appearance and disappearance of the four canvases alternates local biodiversity to micro-organic interventions in collaboration with micro-macro-organisms living between the soil surface and the fabrics.

The result is an alchemic and fertile substrate of marks, imprints, multi strata of dust and leaves, organic matter, decolouration, mushroom mycelium and roots which reveal the invisible and restless adaptation to the change by the local biodiversity and its ecosystem.
