Through artistic practice and scientific experimentation, vegetal biomass is transformed into new materials -pigments, paper -and artworks, opening unexpected paths for creation and reflection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlending theory with practice, this book brings together art experiences, ecological thinking, environmental humanities, and experimental processes to question the boundaries between disciplines, nature and culture, and human and non-human agency. Finally, the author proposes that art and science, working together, can help us perceive the complexity of ecosystems and rethink our role within them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAntía Iglesias \u003c\/b\u003eis a Spanish, independent artist and researcher working within the fields of forestry engineering and expanded arts.
