Abstract
In nature, many mechanisms have evolved to ensure the safety and survival of an organism. Humans lack many methods of self-defense. My work draws on the design that has evolved for thousands of years, mimicking defensive characteristics of other animals and plants. I explore the relationships between the form and function of protective biological systems in my work. This series, Shield and Shelter, references the type of cellular arrangements that allow water to move through the tissue of a tree. The cell structures support the organism by transporting water and nutrients to ensure their safety and longevity.
