“Southern history is like a black tide, thick as mud, washing over its inhabitants. The residue remains present in the land as well as in the psychology of every individual. Being a native of the South, I have recognized this residue in myself, my family, and culture. It is through these relationships that I understand the current of the past as a present and recognizable force in every place and individual. In my work, I try to provide form and conscious experience to this invisible current.”
