During the three-month residency at the European Ceramic Workcentre (EKWC), I worked mainly with deep-sea sediment. I got that material from scientists at NIOZ. They are investigating the long-term effects of deep-sea mining and testing whether they can recolonize/restore the seabed after extraction with ceramic knolls mimicking real polymetallic nodules. I embarked on this and launched a study to use seabed sediment for a speculative prototype of refuges for marine life driven out by deep-sea mining.
