Skylined - Stories of Love & Loss in the City

 Chicago's creative community continues to blossom. Innovative artists, creators and writers are in abundance in our Midwest city. Halfstack has had the honor of showcasing many and this February we are excited to share a special event coordinated by two of our very own: Laura Lopez (Lead Photographer & Art Director here at Halfstack) and Evelyn Lauer (her story was our Winter 2015 cover).



Laura's work as a photographer and her strong visual imagery is impactful on it's own, but when it's paired with Evelyn's words, their collaboration becomes transcendental. Together, they launched Skylined, a series of work that spanned over 2 years and has culminated into a beautiful book that will be available for purchase on Amazon. 

Skylined is a collection of images and words, the collaborative effort of photographer Laura Lopez and writer Evelyn Lauer, shared in visual mediums of love and loss via landscape photography in Chicago. 


How do you live somewhere that reminds you of someone who no longer (or maybe never did) exists in your immediate life? How do you walk the streets, drive the roads, stare through the windows that hold not only memories but feelings, feelings you can’t seem to shake, feelings that stir inside your bones? How does a place become more than what it once was? How do you learn to love the place despite the pain?


Through the lens and via the pen, Skylined connects with viewers’ hearts, exploring the emotions of attachment, remembrance, and unrequited repose, balanced with and juxtaposed against the architectural and urban landscape of Chicago. You can purchase prints online HERE. 

On February 15th, 2018 Laura & Evelyn will be showcasing their work at their book launch party in partnership with CUR(8) Chicago, an event production company under  Josephine Lauer Washuk Consulting. Come out to the free event and show your support!
