Environmental Graffiti - Inspired by Nature


The discipline of biomimicry. Takes its name from the greek words ‘bios’. Meaning life. And ‘mimesis’, meaning to imitate. Thus biomimicry involves the study of nature’s designs. And mimicking them. To solve human challenges. Or simply put innovation inspired by nature. So pinpoint a need. And aim to resolve it. By mimicking nature.

UK designer Anna Garforth has gone above and beyond green-washing. To create a truly biodegradable. And all natural graffiti. With “Mossenger” she’s created living. Breathing. And sustainable outdoor art. Fashioned from a common moss. That thrives on brick walls, She carved the moss. And glued it to the wall. With a mix of totally biodegradable ingredients. As the moss grows.  It will begin to spread out. And the words themselves. Will literally spread across the wall. And melt into a field of green.

Eager to hear your thoughts. Feedback. Input. And tales. Of innovation. Inspiration. And play. Especially re-use. Re-purpose. Re-make. Or re-imagine techniques. That can be included in the SkillsLog.

Warmest Regards
