SB2506003: Worms & Soils
Seeds: Sponge Gourd, Amaranthus, Purslane

Soil is by far the most biologically diverse part of earth. It takes the work of zillions of beetles, springtails, mites, worms, spiders, ants, nematodes, fungi, bacteria & other biological as well as non-biological factors for a period of 3000 years to create 1 cm of fertile soil. Yet it is one of the most under-rated & exploited part of our eco-system. Almost all human activities begin with destroying the soil microbiome; be it tillage for farming or construction work or mining.

This band represents the live worms in the protected, tillage-free & sowing-free spaces of our farm. These beings are a constant reminder for us to gradually take the next step forward to move from a chemical-free farm to a tillage-free farm one day…

Description

WE Beyond Us…

Only WE, humans, are conscious. WE are intelligent. WE have feelings & families & histories…

All of these beliefs have been challenged & it means that “WE” need to expand beyond the human realm & imagine a new way of co-existing in this world. To accept this shift in our consciousness—to always be becoming—is our essence.

Like a cocooned caterpillar, the blossoming bud, water flowing downriver, or the continuous rounding of a stone—there is a tender beauty in evolving.

These bands are also ever-evolving—a bond from the transforming ecosystem in our farm to the quiet changes in all of us. “Pay attention to the transformation within & without,” they seem to say. It will surprise & nourish us on this journey.

Plantable Seed Bands handcrafted from naturally dyed & handspun yarn of organically grown, indigenous cotton. Plantable Seed Papers on which bands are wrapped are handmade, up-cycled & biodegradable.
