The fifth installment in the ongoing series with Native Books. This issue features the work of Sophie Eleanor Turner.

Vol. 5 considers the integral relationship between humans and plants through the lens of textile history. In collaboration with Lore Archive, it presents a photographic and written journey into the significance of plant based fabrics and the stories they carry.

Sacred plants are either connected to ritual practice or considered of high cultural importance. This encompasses trees, flowers, fruits and other vegetation associated with religion and folklore, but also that have had a profound impact on humanity. From musing over customary sheaves to looking romantically over far-flung ethnobotanical research, this is an endeavor to celebrate the sacred plants in every sense, in any place, to anyone.
