Plant-based color, historically tied to systems of value, acted as an archive of soil health, biodiversity, and environmental memory. <\/p>\n<p>The work brought together around one hundred textile squares, dyed with plants and soils from the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Pacific, suspended inside an Azorean pineapple greenhouse. This setting highlighted the unique history of these local infrastructures as spaces of care and innovation. Using dye-baths from pineapple rinds and leaves on pi\u00f1a fiber, the installation generated a \u201cplantone\u201d catalogue mapping the plant\u2019s entanglements with other species and territories. Over the course of two months, the hues shifted with the sunlight, offering a living record of transformation and resilience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2054,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-2042","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Smooth Cayenne Notes - Walk&amp;Talk<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/2025.walktalkazores.org\/en\/project\/smooth-cayenne-notes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Smooth Cayenne Notes - Walk&amp;Talk\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Smooth Cayenne Notes, a natural-dye textile installation, traced the global journeys of the pineapple since the 19th century, exploring its ecology and hidden bonds with other plants through color.
