The formal training underneath the art — certified, not self-declared.
BPRO — Biomimicry Professional — The certification the rest of this page is built on: the Life’s Principles, formally trained, not borrowed as metaphor.
Biomimicry Global Ecosystem — The professional network itself, mapped as a living structure rather than a directory.
Ecotone Show — An ecotone is the transition zone between two ecosystems — where edges meet is where this conversation happens.
for the Soul (bSoul) — Started as “Biomimicry from the South,” renamed once its own participants said what they actually wanted: not conversations about the South, value built with it. Its first stencil, a turtle cut on the same dune where the group had just found one nesting.
Art Perspective — The visual practice that runs inside the biomimicry work, not alongside it.
Recorded evidence, not just a claim: the EEB109 (UCLA) and Tec de Monterrey classes, taught across years and archived in full on video.
Published evidence, too. The essay “Human Wandering,” written after a two-year field study across seven ecosystems on several continents, appears in the Biomimicry Budapest Perspective (ISBN 978-615-00-5320-2) — the same publication where the words “Biomimicry Artist” were used, in print, years before this site existed.
“Perhaps our society is still like a young forest, consuming all that is available, acting like the king species in the ecosystem. As when matured, we will give more, caring for the fellow species of all sorts, and we will find that collaborations in our ecosystem will enhance our own kind.”
