Spinning Stories From a Place of Love

As part of our week-long deep-dive into material solutions, photographer Andy Jackson lenses an intimate exploration of linen and love.

Linen is a fabric that, at its best, represents the very essence of the Earth.

 

Celebrated for its sustainability, linen is made from the flax plant—a plant that can help diversify ecosystems and strengthen soil health, and the entirety of which can be woven into a fiber. It demands minimal water and pesticides during cultivation, and its natural qualities mean it can biodegrade in as little as two weeks. Its strength and durability stand as a testament to nature’s enduring embrace, a symbol of eco-conscious virtues that have weathered the test of time.

 

From the Earth’s nurturing soil to the loom’s careful craft, linen embodies a journey of regenerative sustainability with every fiber, thread, and fabric strand. For Atmos, photographer Andy Jackson lenses an intimate exploration of linen and love.
