Naomi Falk on working with indigo dye:

I moved to South Carolina and I found out that it was historically a place where Indigo had been cultivated.  And so... and that there were people doing it and that there was an indigo plant that was native to South Carolina —or something similar like that—along the coast and had been found again. Like they thought that it was no longer in existence and now it's still here and so they're cultivating it on a small scale again. But there's a long history of textile industry and … indigo production in the region, and so I thought that I would start, you know, learning more about that.
