I think my key inspiration has been the blog of edmund liang, who writes about his research making sustainable building materials. In this photo of his, he's created some blocks from compressed straw for use in straw bale+concrete house building.I love the simplicity of the idea, and the technique of force used to create. After reading his blog I learned so much about compressing things, his process warned me of a lot of potential pitfalls in the art of compressing materials - such as the need to address problems with adhesion of the material and with drying, both of which i think will be tricky with compressed art.
