Book Release: The Mindful Editions
I am really pleased to announce that my book Our Lockdown Garden, has been officially released by The Mindful Editions an independent London-based publishing company founded in 2019 by Flora Butler. They produce beautiful annual collections of mindful work by diverse international creatives. The publishing house was created to give vital exposure and financial support to artists navigating the industry, particularly during the challenges of the pandemic.
Partnering with a publisher that values mental well-being and community has allowed this project to come to life in print exactly as I envisioned. After months of being deep in the design and curation process alongside Flora, it is extremely rewarding to finally hold the finished book!
The book was printed in the UK by Team Impression as a limited edition of 300 books. Reviewing the final unbound print samples and seeing the rich black-and-white tones come to life was an unforgettable final step in the journey.
Our Lockdown Garden grew from a very difficult and uncertain time, but also from the hope, connection and community we found in the garden. I am forever grateful to everyone in the community who shared their stories with me and trusted me to document this period of their lives. It is very special to know that these photographs, stories and memories now exist as a book that can be held, shared and hopefully passed on for years to come.
I am also grateful to Team Impression in Yorkshire for their beautiful craftsmanship, and to everyone who has pre-ordered a copy so far!
Copies are now available to purchase directly through The Mindful Editions online shop or you can order a copy from my website right here on my Book page.
