The fourth image in my summer reading series with Vanessa Powell! This week was my choice and I picked the above quote by Maurice Sendak's classic "Where The Wild Things Are"

I chose a dictionary as my "doorway" because I feel that together in that one book are all the words we need to create any world we really want.

"That is all very well but there is a third thing you must do. You must do something to make the world more beautiful."

The third image in my summer reading series with Vanessa Powell. She picked this quote that I hadn't heard before and it really resonated with me, I'm trying to make the world a bit nicer each day.

The next image in my summer reading series with my amazing friend, Vanessa Powell. We're taking turns choosing quotes from our favourite children's stories and this week I chose this quote from "The Lorax":

'“I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues.”

The lorax has always been one of my favourite stories and I feel a particular connection to it as I'm quite passionate about my favourite forest of trees and have done my share of protesting and protection of the trees that I love.

I'm very excited to announce a new summerlong collaboration project with a favourite photographer of mine, Vanessa Powell.

We will be doing a series of photos inspired by quotes from our favourite children's books. Vanessa picked this quote from The Velveteen Rabbit and it inspired me to create an image of what it would like to have your favourite things turn to life!


"'Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.'"
