SILENCE IS AN ORCHARD 
LAUREN HENKIN
 

Silence is an Orchard is a handmade book of photographs by Lauren Henkin taken in 2008 and 2009 in a single field within Acadia National Park in Maine.

"In Henkin's images, you feel the photographer's immersion in a specific world, its details and rituals and dankly exquisite weave. But you also sense the photographer discovering something about who and what she is becoming." DK Row, Visual Arts Critic, The Oregonian

Printed on Japanese kozo paper, Henkin presents the work of five Northwest women artists including her own imagery (photography), Kirsten Rian (poetry), Sarah Horowitz (original cover etching), Inge Bruggeman (letterpress printing), and Sandy Tilcock (binding) —whose contributions combine to create a beautiful meditation, a visual journal of solitude and quiet.
