Katie Green, Lighter than my shadow
On the cover of Katie Green’s Lighter than My Shadow, a woman walks toward a forest of slender, spare trees. She is tall and thin. We can’t see her face, but her posture suggests confidence. The figure is dwarfed by the woman’s shadow – represented by scrawled and knotted black lines. It skews wider and rounder than the body it belongs to, reflecting the complicated tangle of shame, fear, and anxiety she holds in her mind.
