Poem:

“This is the time to be slow,
Lie low to the wall
Until the bitter weather passes.

Try, as best you can, not to let
The wire brush of doubt
Scrape from your heart
All sense of yourself
And your hesitant light.

If you remain generous,
Time will come good;
And you will find your feet
Again on fresh pastures of promise,
Where the air will be kind
And blushed with beginning.”

    Inspiration and Techniques

    Hand-printing each letter delicately onto vintage (19c) linen - every element of creation is bespoke, slow, mindful, and steeped in history.  Stealing away to print, Hannah feels as though each print is like a meditation on the text that’s been chosen - the feel of the fabric and the hands they’ve passed through, creating meaningful heirlooms from the past to pass on to future generations.
