The Slow Light, a project of Anima Press, brings together nature-based fine art prints and reflective text. Behind each image is a practice that offers a reorientation to grief: an attentiveness to what remains, however subtle, and a quiet counter to the isolation that so often accompanies loss.

​

Rather than documenting the island, this landscape—where Geordie’s ashes are scattered—is not a backdrop, but something felt as part of him, of us, and something that holds my heart. I ask Geordie regularly for signs; it keeps our conversation going, while also shifting me into a slower rhythm of sight that keeps my eyes open to a simple and subtle beauty. Through the camera’s capacity to gather light, layer time, and shape attention, presence is traced as it flickers at the edge of perception.

​

At times, I find myself reaching toward a future reunion with Geordie, imagining how I might one day see, with clarity, all the ways he has remained with me. Each photograph becomes one of these moments, forming a kind of living archive of where I have felt him.

​

This work situates grief within a more spacious awareness—one that honors both loss and ongoing relationship, and understands the capacity to feel both as a form of strength.

​

Each image is hand-printed on 8.5 × 11-inch or 13 × 19-inch deckle-edge, archival smooth rag paper (308 gsm), with a surrounding border that allows the image space to breathe.

 

The materials and process are chosen with care, echoing the quiet, tactile nature of the work itself.

​

The pieces shown here are samples. The collection is ongoing and evolving, with images and texts shifting over time.

​

Each 8.5 × 11-inch print is priced at $80, and 13 × 19-inch prints at $140.

​

Available for purchase at Morrice Florist or directly through me. Prints are also donated to oncology wards, in the hope that they may offer others something of what they gave to Geordie and me.
