We Move Slowly in the Mornings, 2025
‘We Move Slowly in the Mornings’ is a long-term project in which Sheps explores domestic space as a site for transition. At a time when her social anxiety is worsening, huge changes are on the way and life feels incredibly suffocating, the work acts as a documentary of the day and proof that growth can still occur among intense struggle.
Over the period of one month, she wore lumen prints in her clothes and on her person, a grounding tool to record the day through abstract and ambiguous visuals.
This comes together with typewritten journal entries in the form of a publication that investigates childhood nostalgia at the beginning of adulthood: a massively overwhelming transitional time.
The project is entirely analogue and takes on an extremely practical approach through experiments such as cyanotype, luminography and salt printing, reulting in a hand-bound publication that can be purchased here.
