 ## Introduction
 
+I was inspired to try out multiple techniques. I've always wanted to try creating a concrete sphere so this seemed like a great opportunity to try it out. I was also intrigued by the plant root clothing so wanted to see if I could form structures out of wheat grass roots. Additionally, the silk worm sculpture was inspiring and since I have never worked with silk worms I wanted to try it out.
+
+These explorations also helped to inspire student bioart projects as seen in the [Living BioLibrary](https://class.textile-academy.org/2024/ann-macara/project/).

+The agar and roots project inspired students Canada C. ('24) and Steven C. T. ('24) to experiment with growing wheat grass out of wool as shown below. You can also learn more about their Biaort project and how it connects to the Living BioLibrary [here](https://class.textile-academy.org/2024/ann-macara/project/).
