Description
An ongoing research project to create carbon-negative limestone from waste concrete and other sources. Objects are grown slowly underwater in an electro-chemical process similar to the origin of life. The resulting objects are colored by their environment - cream and white limestones, red irons, green coppers, and blue algaes.
