Calling all amateur applied mycologists! Cal Poly Assistant Architecture Professor Angela Bracco has the perfect design collection for you on display through Nov. 31, in MYLR Gallery and Bookstore (1238 Monterey St., SLO). Her show, titled Entara and Vedra: Tools for the Domestic Forager, is a series of capsule-like receptacles designed for growing food at home.
“This body of work explores the integration of plant husbandry into the domestic space through vessels designed for the cultivation of mushrooms and microgreens,” the gallery announced. “Through the rewilding of the domestic domain, these vessels reintroduce bewilderment, fragility, and the unknown into the familiar realm of interior life, transforming our relationships with ecology and shelter.”
Bracco holds a Master of Fine Arts in Product Design from the Royal College of Art in London. According to her bio, “Her research and pedagogical endeavors are sustained by investigating ecology’s potential role in the constructed environment through the intersection of new material strategies and examining the reciprocity of ecology and form.”
MYLR’s website explains, “As an art gallery, our work involves showcasing new and emerging talent alongside classic, well-established pieces. As a bookstore, our collection seeks to share art, culture, and architecture titles that usually can only be found in our major cities.”
