Infinity Mesh

“In nature, nothing exists alone” (Carson, R. 1962. Silent Spring )

Infinity Mesh is inspired by the delicate complexity of the interconnected natural world we live in. Recent research by scientist Suzanne Simard, among others, has shown that underground, there is this “other” world of infinite biological pathways that connect trees and allows them to communicate. The below-ground fungal networks move water, carbon and nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as sending messages between and among trees. These complex, symbiotic networks in our forests - at the hub of which stand the "mother trees", mimic our own neural and social networks.
