In a highly innovative process, wheatgrass root is cultivated in 3D-printed templates that are then carved into beeswax. This guides the root to grow in certain patterns or shapes. In just 12 days, the roots bind into a naturally woven material, this is a great example of ‘bio-design’ and it creates a textile that is low-tech, organic, and biodegradable.
I recall seeing a compostable wedding dress made by her. I wonder if it's too scratchy to make underwear.

Yep, I kept thinking about it after. There are a few root artists out there but I think this is the only one making clothing for sale with it.

What a woman, a total artiste! Her garments are amazing... I can also imagine Holloway's textiles used in a collection by Iris van Herpen, a collab like that would be insanely cool.

Now I know about Iris Van Herpen. Holy shit, that's some serious space fairy phantasmic beauty she's got going on. That would be an amazing collab.
