Servitude

Abstract

Lorraine Corsale, a photographer trained at Pratt Institute, worked as a volunteer for the Christian Appalachian Project in Lancaster, Kentucky, and this new book is her stark record of the experience. Corsale' s black and white photographs depict mostly the fringes of Appalachia, rural life in Kentucky's Garrard County, and the presentation is as elegantly simple as the pictures. These are not always "pretty" pictures. They are stark, understated depictions by an excellent photographer.
