Trying Grace is a self discovery project around aging, process, letting go, and acceptance. 2025 the year of losing my studio to fire and turning 60. My original project plans went up in smoke with the fire, and I turned inwards. I found peace in creating macro images of flowers and eventually as I was trying to accept myself and my circumstances, I turned the camera around. These large images of the “problem” parts of my aging body allowed me to see myself differently. I’m trying hard to just be, accept myself as I am, right now, including accepting the path that brings me to this exact moment. You will notice flaws in the prints as well as the images. They are not printed on fine art paper, they will not last forever, they bend and scratch, they just are.
