A Coal Miners Funeral

My work reflects my own personal experiences in relation to my upbringing in the rural South. It is a place that has been relegated to the margins of American history and culture, a position that left me
with a sharp awareness of my own identity and its connection to it. I revive and express the region’s struggles and contradictions, interweaving my own personal narrative within its sociological mythology.
What emerges is darkly comedic and allegorical, composed of isolating landscapes that are inhabited by
tragic and exploited figures uncovered from the recesses of the American psyche.Try it!
