Prints now available on my https://www.mooseazim.com/product-category/my-mums-nighties/
Over the past year or so you may have seen these on my instagram, or even as part of the Hundred Heroines Exhibition in London and Blackpool. I’ve been amazed and grateful to those of you who have shared your feelings and thoughts on how a simple image or a preloved piece of clothing can evoke such deep emotion.
This has given me the idea to offer “My Mums Nighties” out into the world in the form of limited edition prints. Each Nightie is a limited edition of 50 and there are 9 to choose from. ( See my Shop in menu above )
Photographer Bernice Abbott once said “Photography helps people to see” and oh yes I can relate to that and I bet many of you feel that way too. Taking photos of my Mums belongings when she died has helped me process so much. I have to add that I also took part in some Muslim rituals which I believe helped more, I’d love to share those with you too but this will be for another time. Photography is a way to express deep feelings and needs without using words, I thank the person who said this to me “ these delicate quiet photos stir loud emotions I can’t find words for”
This is a good time to big up Living Well Dying Well from whom I gained much support. https://www.lwdwtraining.uk
So poignant those nighties. Thank you
They are beautiful Moose and I know how much they mean to you. I would have given anything to have something like this for my family when my brother died. You are so wonderful.
Oh Meg that is such a touching comment. love moose x
These photos are truly beautiful-delicate and strong, still and moving. A wonderful testament. I love living with the your photograph of the pale pink nightie I now have on my wall, It captures ephemeral moments and enduring love. Xxx
Thank you so much for your message Rachel I can’t tell you how much it means to me when someone is touched by images. You are a perfect receiver. x
Not only are the photos of the nighties so beautiful and moving, but the photos of the photos are as usual beautifully framed and caught in a light that echos the emotion, I love your work so much, and it’s wonderful to see how it just gets stronger and stronger.
xx
Kt, Thank you so much for your thoughts on these, isn’t it interesting how some people just get something and others don’t. I guess that is what makes the world go round, all of our differences, I just love it.
You seem to just understand these on a deeper level.
