Light & Shadow

Noticing More: Light Play

“Rather than commanding our attention, natural light might linger at the edges of our consciousness. The sun surrounds us with its light, exerting subtle effects on us that we are not always aware of.”

Glenn Shrumm (Lighting Magazine, The Natural Light Issue)

 

Sunlight has a magical way of entertaining and surprising us. Even in the most mundane of surroundings, sunlight still manages to have a heap of tricks up its sleeves. One of the themes that I am drawn to is the way sunlight behaves around exterior lampshades.

Super Ordinary Life is a true labour of love! I spend lots hours and my own money to keep the project going. I keep my space advert free and make no income from partnering with brands. Pretty much all the money earned from Zine making goes straight back into the project and pays for the website, hosting, research and zine making supplies.

If you have ever gained inspiration from my work, please consider keeping me going with a coffee or a membership (memberships are coming soon) . Your support makes all the difference. Arigato + Thank You!

“The name still life says it all - these are pictures of calm, peaceful life, which they invite and encourage us to enter. In our utilitarian, ever-moving world, still lifes give us pause. This is life without movement, going nowhere.” Christpohe André
