For 10 years Caroline de Roy created site-specific socially engaged projects with an anthropological approach to the subject matter.
In her free work she uses transparent materials that are tangible yet inaccessible, revealing and at the same time concealing, connecting yet separating.
Being concerned about the worlds enormous waste problem she started researching alternative eco-friendly material solutions such as mycelium. Now organic waste such as faded flowers and the peels of fruit and vegetables form the basis of her material. The cycle of life, changes over time and chemical processes yield new dyes and materials solidifying in interesting shapes and forms.
Time plays with the material in different ways: colors change to a greater or lesser extent, and the material decays in its own way, so that in the end no thing will remain.
The works can return to earth again, disappear and reappear in a different capacity.
