“ The Southern tradition ... A sense of place, a respect for eccentricity, a never-ending complexity of race relations, the assurance that comes with knowing you will be treated with the greatest warmth and courtesy no matter what door you knock on - all that combined creates the filter through which I see, and what I see becomes my work.” - HC Porter
