            “Southwest Wisconsin is my home,” says Ensrude, “Everything I see here reminds me of that. I was born and raised here, but I also had a second home for nearly a decade during the second Bush Administration, in the suburbs of Tokyo, Japan… Around the time I returned to the Midwest is when I started to notice trends and patterns in the landscape that I couldn’t remember seeing while I was growing up here or on my short visits home over the years… The once familiar landscape had assumed a strange veneer, a curious overlay fraught with juxtaposition and contradiction… In my photographs, I try to capture a piece of something unique to inspire another look, and a different way of seeing something familiar.”
