A personal project
Design
Photography: Tetyana Maryshko
Print: Plus Print
Each Christmas I collaborate with a client to create a gift for the people that I have been lucky enough to work with and for that year. In 2025, I looked at my favourite obsession, shadow light with Tetyana Maryshko and made a gift in time for the Winter Solstice.
...
Shadow Light Solstice: a zine for this year’s gift. An edition of 60, in collaboration with the unending talent of Tetyana Maryshko, printed by Plus Print and hand sewn at home with my grandmothers red thread.
…
To yield and remain; a radical attention.
This winter solstice, what if we remain? What if our faith is in the now, in the ways in which at any present moment we will be offered simultaneously joy and heartbreak, darkness and light. What if we decide that there is no light in the east coming to save us, and too that we will not drown in winters looping darkness; but that in the yielding to the grit and contradiction we meet a measure of aliveness that cannot be found anywhere else.
One needs the other,
needs the other,
needs the other.
Shadow Light.
