Through an experimental costume design praxis my research explores ways in which natural colourants and biofabricated matter can afford new aesthetic qualities to an artistic work, as well as induce meaning and value beyond the scope of the live performative event. I work in the Academy of Finland funded research project BioColour - Biobased Dyes and Pigments for Colour Palette, and I am affiliated with the research groups Fashion/Textile Futures and Costume in Focus.
