Hi I’m Maria 🔬and I’m a final year textiles student. My practice revolves around questioning materiality in particular proposing bioplastics as a material alternative.

My most recent project ‘Wear Your Campus’ developed a series of accessories. Derived from resources on campus’ fruit routes scheme, the natural dyes suspended in the bioplastics preserve a part of campus and are designed to be biodegradable.

My final project will continue to play with these ideas and aim to provoke conversation about conscious design.
