Portland-based photographer Lauren Henkin will discuss the upcoming release of her first artist book, Displaced. Limited to an edition of 60 + five artist proofs, each handmade volume contains 41 original prints, letterpress printed text pages, and is bound by master bookmaker John DeMerritt.
"This is a well-crafted book, with deep and indelible images. As with any successful photo book, or artist's book, the whole has a resonance greater than the sum of its parts. Lauren Henkin delivers a profound meditation on loss and renewal, and what endures." - Steve Woodall, Director, Center for Book & Paper Arts, Columbia College Chicago

Born in Washington, D.C. in 1974, Lauren Henkin grew up in Maryland.

During the next 10 years, she worked as the public programs manager for the Corcoran Gallery of Art, a book designer, and creative director. Although much of her photographic knowledge is self taught, Henkin furthered her education by studying under photographers Chan Chao, Gordon Hutchings, and George Tice.
