Pumpkin Textiles

Eliška Hlavačková explored the materiality of the pumpkin.Native Americans stored flour and other cereals in containers made from dried, hollowed-out pumpkins, which are resistant to mildew. By compressing and drying the pulp, a biodegradable membrane was produced, ranging from nearly transparent to layered and solid, which is characterized by toughness and durability. The pulp can also be cast in moulds, dried and made into simple three-dimensional objects.
