Bacterial Cellulose Dress


YIMING MA, INTERDISCIPLINARY SCULPTURE, 2025


Project Overview

In this project, I use cellulose to make a little dress for the little human figure and also used it in the mycelium project. When I hang the cellulose on the high place to dry, the shape of the “wave” makes me think of the dancing dress. The bright color of the dress is represent the active energy of the dancers.



Process

In this project, I made the cellulose at first, and dried them in a special shape. I hang up the cellulose on the hanger to make the ” waving” shape. After it dry, I glue different pieces to make a dress on the little figure. Last step is use water color “dye” the dried cellulose.
