the slowdown

2025

A donor thank you gift to supporters of The Slowdown.

I thought a lot about how listening to The Slowdown could be a daily ritual for some. I wanted to emphasize the sense of peacefulness found in a daily act of reading/reflecting upon poetry, while also thinking about what brought me peace. The water lilies are meditative in nature, with both scenes from the perspective of looking down as a reminder to observe that which is around you. My signature cut-paper style conveys a slow process with intention, a labor of love.
