NETTLE 101
Material ResearchNieuw Zwanenburg, Oirschot (NL)
March 2025
The material research explores nettle in all its forms, from materials and fertilisers to tea, paper and ceramic glazes. Every part of the plant, from leaves to roots, is transformed, used or drunk. Also, the glazes of the tea set used in the ceremony are made with nettle, developed in collaboration with Laetitia Delbachain. Each material returns to the plant, tracing a cycle in which nettle moves from the field to the body and back to the earth.
