KNYGA Mw Editions Jane Fulton Alt: Still Life

How one woman sublimated sorrow into regeneration by carrying through her deceased husband's ambitious native garden projectCelebrated American photographer Jane Fulton Alt (born 1951) was never a gardener. That changed overnight when her husband Howard unexpectedly died, leaving behind a partially realized native garden—his response to a deepening concern about climate change. With the help and encouragement of her husband's mentors, she picked up a spade and began to dig, assuming full stewardship of the native garden while finding a new source of creativity and sustenance amid the grieving process.Still Life: A Photographer's Journey through Grief and Gardening is a story of resilience. Alt's keen eye and deep insights instruct us on how personal loss can be a catalyst for transformation. With texts by teacher and founding member of Spirit Rock Meditation Center James Baraz, native plant evangelist Doug Tallamy and photography impresario W.M. Hunt, Still Life is a quiet and moving reflection on loss and renewal.
