Cotton has a story that extends way before we cut and sew a garment. I thought I had a good understanding of working with cotton in garment form but definitely not the full understanding of what goes into growing it. There is a respect between the land and people who grow it - it takes a vast amount of skill, passion and community. It’s a story that should be told and understood at a larger scale.

Seeing cotton in this landscape deeply emphasises the importance of carrying the practices of care through each step of the process - care for land and people, to production into textiles and garments, to the life cycle of use and end-of-life.
