LIT - Mycelium Illuminated
Elizabeth Stegner Patton, College of Art and Design alumna (Industrial Design, MFA) utilizes mushroom mycelium to explore the material and form light shades that maintain their structure and stability during use, but will decompose in a home garden if left outside. The shades are built on fixtures designed to be disassembled for repair or reuse with repurposed or recycled parts. These lamps are an exploration of material and function, and supports the collective challenge of making meaningful objects that leave a small footprint.
Patton is a professional designer with experience in biotechnology, medical devices, consumer goods and services. She is interested in the intersection of art, science, and design; biomimicry and materials.
