A working index of five obsessions pauliglesia.com

Everything I make is the same question in a different colour.

Indigo cloth and the hands that still dye it. Cannabis as fibre, as medicine, as policy. Records at 2am, photographs from the road, and a stubborn belief that the system is a draft, not a final copy.

The five sides

01 — 05
01
Indigo the blue side

Buyi indigo, and the vats it comes out of. Cloth I've sourced, garments I've built, and the archive pieces I couldn't sell if I tried.

  • Buyi indigo
  • natural dye
  • fashion
  • archive & artefacts
  • capsule projects
02
Cannabis the green side

A plant that makes rope, medicine and a legal argument. Ventures I've run, fields I've walked, and more regulation than anyone should have to read.

  • hemp fibre
  • cannabis ventures
  • regenerative ag
  • policy & regulation
  • product
03
Sound the loud side

What I play while the room is still filling, and what I play at four. Sets, crates, and the playlists I actually keep updated.

  • DJ sets
  • Spotify
  • SoundCloud
  • crate digging
  • video
04
Light the quiet side

Mostly 35mm, mostly while travelling, mostly of people who hadn't noticed. The frames I couldn't leave behind.

  • photography
  • travel
  • 35mm
  • short film
  • street
05
World the restless side

Where I've landed on peace, on ecology, on who the system is actually built for. Slower than a timeline, and signed.

  • peace
  • ecology
  • the system
  • humanity
  • essays

Right now

Sept 2026

On the decks

The playlist that's been on repeat this month, and the last set I recorded.

Sound

On the table

A dye batch, a hemp sample, a half-finished idea. Whatever is physically in front of me.

Indigo & Cannabis

On my mind

What I'm reading, arguing with, and slowly changing my position on.

World

Come for one colour. Ask about the rest.
