LAB's project 'Material & Space' exemplifies his innovative and sustainable use of materials. In this project, he experimented with rubber resin and elastic fibers, blending them with varying levels of water. Once shaped in 3D and left to dry, the material solidified into sculptural forms. This process opened new perspectives on how sustainability can be integrated into both fashion and art, offering a fresh approach to material innovation.
Working primarily in sculpture, LAB merges storytelling, material research, and regenerative design to create artworks that cross boundaries between disciplines. His practice goes beyond pursuing aesthetic perfection—it elevates the very process of materials interacting with and transforming through their environment into art itself. This provides a practical and creative answer to the sustainability challenges facing contemporary fashion and art, expanding the possibilities of ecological narratives through material innovation.
FAQ
What materials does LAB work with?
LAB works with rubber resin and elastic fibers mixed with varying levels of water in the 'Material & Space' project. The materials are 3D-molded then dried to harden into sculptural forms—an innovative and sustainable approach to material manipulation.
What subjects does LAB's work address?
LAB explores the relationship between humans and nature through scientific, social, and spiritual lenses. His interdisciplinary practice constructs ecological narratives with deep interest in biological intelligence, deep time, and how materials respond to environments over time.
What implications does LAB's work have for fashion?
LAB's 'Material & Space' project offers new perspectives on integrating sustainability into fashion and art. Through material innovation and regenerative design, it presents practical and creative solutions to sustainability challenges facing the contemporary fashion industry.
