THE PROJECT WAS CONCEIVED AS A RESEARCH ON MATERIALS AND TEXTURES. THE STUDY ON MATERIAL EXPERIMENTATION FOCUSES ON WILLOW WICKER COMBINED WITH PAPAER, BIOPLASTIC AND CONCRETE EACH MATERIAL CAN BE MODIFIED DURING THE MAKING PROCESS TO ACHIEVE UNEXPLORED OUTCOMES.
FOR PAPER, IN ADDITION TO TRYING DIFFERENT COMPOSITIONS OF STARTING MATERIAL, IT IS POSSIBLE TO INSERT CLOTH INTO THE SHEETS TO CREATE A MORE ROBUST STRUCTURE.

FOR BIOPLASTICS, VARYING COMBINATIONS OF INGREDIENTS OR DRYING THE MATERIAL ON DIFFERENT SURFACES WILL LEAD TO DIFFERENT VISUALS.
FOR CONCRETE, MULTIPLE METHODS ARE POSSIBLE: IT CAN BE PULVERIZED REPLACING THE SAND IN THE MIXTURE, OR CHOPPED AND ADDED TO THE ORIGINAL COMPOUND, OR INSERTED IN THE DRYING PHASE.

THE SURFACE TEXTURES ARE THE PROTAGONISTS OF THE ARTIFACTS MADE WITH THE TECHNIQUES OF MI·MÈ·SI. TO MAKE THE TEXTURE EVEN MORE EVIDENT, THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPEDIENT OF INVERSION OF COLORS WAS USED. 

THIS ALLOWS TO VISUALLY IDENTIFY THE LOCAL DEVIATIONS OF THE SURFACE FORMED BY THE PRESENCE OF WILLOW WOOD, WHICH BECOMES A SIGN OF IDENTITY OF THE OBJECTS CREATED.

DECAY   

   
DECAY IS A PARALLEL STUDY TO MI·MÈ·SI THAT ANALYZES THE BEHAVIOR OF AN ORGANIC MATERIAL, AND CONSEQUENTLY CHARACTERIZED BY A NATURAL DEGRADATION PROCESS. THE VISUAL RESULT SIMULATES THE DECAY OF A VOLUME MADE WITH WICKER AND CONCRETE.
