The Bio-Art movement redefines wood carving by incorporating living elements and organic processes, transforming static sculptures into dynamic, evolving artworks. Artists harness natural growth cycles, embedding fungi, moss, or even plant roots into carved wooden structures. These living components interact with the wood, creating textures and patterns that change over time. For example, mycelium networks can be cultivated within carved grooves, producing delicate fungal growths that alter the piece’s appearance. Other techniques involve soaking wood in nutrient-rich solutions to encourage lichen colonization or carving channels for water to sustain embedded plant life. This fusion of art and biology challenges traditional notions of permanence, emphasizing sustainability and the beauty of impermanence. By collaborating with nature, Bio-Art carvings become living ecosystems, blurring the line between creator and creation.
