BARBARA made the first sheet that we almost didn’t want to turn into a shirt. The elaborate details that we can see on her craft came from the minimum modification of the environment and materials for a maximum creative effect. A patient gesture of archiving all leaves and plants from around her studio that she had used for previous compositions over the past year, of assembling them one by one on our sheets. The finishing touches happened in her darkroom, painting the sheets carefully with the minimum cyanotype ink, before its final exposure to the UV of the sun. And boom, a vibrant explosion of blue jungle life visualised on a sheet and, yes we did it, eternalised into a unique CURA BY THE SEA shirt.
