Description

There is a path I walk with care.

There is a shadow that follows me there.

There is a place, a secret I keep,

where something special is buried down deep …

 

Ross Morgan’s exquisite art and story are inspired by personal loss and coming to terms with grief. In a rural metal scrap yard, a girl and her dog explore mountains of metal scrap together searching for treasures, kept on a shelf in her late grandfather’s workshop. She discovers a mechanical key and mystically, magically, a little glowing object appears, floats up and beyond. The sparse, lyrical text speaks to memory, shared moments, and love beyond worlds.
