The Sleeping Giant. Gene Ellenberg. 

Says Ellenberg (BFA 2012, Art / photography), "The work featured is an ongoing project, 'In My Father's House', that began back in 2010 as a personal investigation about the private introspections of my father and later became an exchange between myself and my family. The process was at times deftly quiet and unnerving but looking back on the images now I see a mutual understanding, a trust. Through straight documentation as well as the constructed image, I am attempting to blur the lines of what I recall, what I want to admit, and perhaps what I want to see."
