These images are from a decade of research conducted across Portugal, the home to over 60% of the world’s cork supply. With the support of partners like Cortiçeira Amorim, Apcor and Parsons School of Design, I have collected images and stories from across the spectrum of cork agriculture and industry. I believe the world of cork has much to teach us about new ways of relating to the materials of nature, and how we use those materials to build new worlds.
