    "Conchas de Pan"?
    Cristin Durning offers "Conchas de Pan," a series of large format Polaroid prints exploring the internal border that divides the artist’s European-American heritage from her Mexican heritage. Durning does this through finding connections to her deceased grandparents who had a strong Mexican pride, which is contrasted with her longtime denial of the culture. “As a teenager I tried to hide my culture because of stereotypes, but now as an adult I find myself drawn to it. Much of my work involves investigating past memories and getting to know my grandparents and their stories through artifacts. I am beginning to get an understanding of my culture and gain the sense of pride that my family once had.”

    "Cedar"
    Brandon Daniel Greer is a documentary photographer, living in and photographing the South. His "Cedar" work is part photo-documentary, part sculpture, and part performance regarding his family’s relationship to their longstanding cedar woodworking business after the death of his grandfather. His work explores family lineage and relations as well as his place in the sixty-five-year history of his family’s shop, “The Cedar Place.” Greer presents his work comprised of medium-format photography and objects made from the cedar wood used in his family’s shop.
