Speaking about his development as an artist from large themes to the more personal. Scotts Run was a poverty stricken coal mining community in West Virginia.
"It was on that visit to Scotts Run that I began to change, all my art up to that point had been focused on big social changes, social programs, protests that sort of thing. It was at Scotts Run that I started to see people and said to myself. 'My art from now on has to be about people, close up.'"
