DESCRIPTION
Josie George lives in a tiny terraced house in the urban West Midlands with her son. Since her early childhood, she has lived with the fluctuating and confusing challenge of disabling chronic illness. Her days are watchful and solitary, lived out in the same hundred or so metres around her home.
But Josie's world is surprising, intricate, dynamic. She has learned what to look for: the complex patterns of ice on a frozen puddle; the routines of her friends at the community centre; the neighbourhood birds in flight; the slow changes in the morning light, in her small garden, in her growing son, in herself.
In January 2018, Josie sets out to tell the story of her still life, over the course of a year. As the seasons shift, and the tides of her body draw in and out, Josie begins to unfurl her history: her childhood bright with promise but shadowed by confinement; her painful adolescence and her hopeful coming of age; the struggle of her marriage, and the triumph of motherhood. And then a most unexpected thing happens in Josie's quiet present: she falls in love.
A Still Life is a story of illness and pain that rarely sees the light: illness and pain with no end or resolution; illness and pain that we must meet with courage, joy, ingenuity and hope. Against a world which values 'feel good' progress and productivity above all else, Josie sets out a quietly radical alternative: to value and treasure life for life itself, with all its defeats and victories, with all its great and small miracles.
Josie George is a writer and visual artist. She lives with her son in the West Midlands. A Still Life was written mostly from bed and is her first book. She is currently working on a novel alongside exploring how drawing, painting and photography might help her to stay awake to life as it really is.

FAQ
What’s your warranty?
We’ve got you covered when it comes to our footwear! We want to make sure you have complete peace of mind, which is why we offer a warranty that lasts a solid ninety (90) days from the original date of purchase when you buy directly from everyhuman.com.au. That’s right, we’ve got your back!
Now, let’s keep it real. Our warranty is super awesome, but it doesn’t cover everything under the sun. Unfortunately, any damage caused by neglect, improper care, accidents, or even normal wear and tear like those little scuffs, scratches, or faded colors that come with everyday use is not covered.
Oh, and we want to give you a heads up. If you happen to use AFOs (ankle-foot orthoses) or have a unique gait, it’s possible that there might be some extra wear and tear on the shoes. We totally get it, but just know that this kind of additional usage isn’t typically considered a warrantable issue for this particular product.
