The Gift of Permission
My first authorial narrative piece is this concertina collection of postcards celebrating overlooked occasions, events and milestones both personal and within a contemporary relationship.







Inspiration & Context
A brief look into some of the occasions that should be celebrated, alternatives to the standard or traditional celebrations you may find a section for in your local greetings card shops or websites.
​
As somebody who has chosen a lifestyle that hasn't included getting engaged, married, having children (and hence no Christenings, Bar Mitzvahs, gender reveals or any of those kinds of things), I was left wondering if there were other people who also felt unrepresented and uncelebrated in the greetings card industry... And so I began a list of the things that should be celebrated in early stages of any relationship, friendship, or even personal developments that seem to go unmarked. Above is a series of collages made to represent the kinds of things I wanted to celebrate.
