BIOMATERIA: Biotextile Craft

BIOMATERIA: Biotextile Craft (2015) serves as an entry point into the craft of tissue culture from the perspective of bioartist and researcher Dr. WhiteFeather Hunter.

Bridging laboratory practice, contemporary art, and textile traditions, the book includes standard and speculative laboratory protocols, a glossary of technical and newly coined terms, process documentation, and images. It introduces readers to the tools, techniques, and conceptual frameworks that informed Hunter's early explorations in tissue engineering, biofabrication, and living materials.

The publication also functions as the exhibition catalogue for Biomateria, featuring artwork descriptions, project documentation, and a discussion of "haptic epistemology"—the philosophy and methodology underpinning the work.

Originally published in 2015 in print only, this digital edition of Biomateria: Biotextile Craft preserves an important early contribution to contemporary bioart, biofabrication, and interdisciplinary art-science practice.
