Now Is Always brings together photogravures that merge family history and the present moment. Using her father’s 1930s negatives, Vaune Trachtman creates layered images that feel both intimate and cinematic. The work explores memory, time, and the emotional texture of the past—revealing how what’s gone continues to live in what remains.

Vaune Trachtman is a photographer and printmaker whose work honors historic processes without relying on toxic chemicals. Formerly a master printer of silver-gelatin prints and asphaltum-based photogravures, she began rethinking her materials after feeling that traditional methods were compromising her immune system. She now creates photopolymer gravures with little more than light and water. Her work has been exhibited throughout the country, and she has been recognized by the Critical Mass Top 50, The Print Center’s ANNUAL International Competition, the Denis Roussel Awards, Rfotofolio, and Fresh, and she was shortlisted for the international Hariban Award. She lives and works in Vermont, in a former textile mill overlooking the Connecticut River.
