• It has taken me over a year, but today I finally sat down with the designs and feedback from the @letterspace_ workshop at @whitworthart last year with @dalton.maag and Jim Williams. Letterspace was (and will continue to be) a passion project of mine, but after loosing our son 8 months into pregnancy for no known cause 2 months after, I have often resented everything that the project meant for me - not only a lot of joy but also a lot of stress, standing, lifting, logistics. I have wondered a thousand times if he might be here had I rested more. I know that the answer is likely not, but it replays in my mind regardless. Today I opened the folder full of letter designs and feedback statements from the secondary school children who took part in the workshop. The first letter that I looked at, a letter ‘I’ had this caption written alongside; “This picture represents the difficulties of life. It is never as simple as a straight line, but that’s what makes it beautiful.” 😭 When the projects that we do both include and involve education and charity they breathe life in other ways, beyond the sphere of our own creative output... and occasionally that life comes back at you, full circle, when you need it the most. #babylossawareness #stillbirth #letterspace #thewhitworth #designeducation #typography #daltonmaag #typematters
