Sewing material from the ground

Man-made fabric is typically a woven grid structure, line crossing line, simple geometry. Nature’s fabric - the material that covers plants and trees- has intricate growth patterns, scars, a wavy and gnarled surface. The finest stitches a human hand is capable of look clumsy next to the intricacies of plant growth and decay.

Sewing this plant fabric is not to make or mend something, just to highlight nature’s hand in this plant material, artlessly made and discarded by common palms, cactuses, and trees.
