He describes it as a “problematic but longstanding staple in Appalachian culture and economy.” These striking images are an intimate glimpse into life in the American coal country.</span></p> <p><span>“<em>In Our Veins</em>” has recently taken Justin to Tennessee where he completed a two week residency at King College. Selections from this body of work have been exhibited at Laconia Gallery in Boston, MA, The Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA and Gerson Zevi in New York City.
