silver staining - felted metal

No-sew, no-glue assembly process.

Personal experiments driven by my interest in ancestry, the rise of DNA home test kits, and the use of silver to analyze laboratory data. Samples woven on an 8 harness floor loom. Felted with merino roving, conductive Kyototex yarns and metal wire.
