​​The Last Coal Mine is a visual chronicle of coal towns, from the last deep mine in Wales to the fading seams of Appalachia, told through the lens of those who lived it. It’s unlikely the last coal mine will close within my lifetime, but as the coal and energy industries evolve, these places continue to change, recede, disappear. This project began in 2019, and continues to grow, with new chapters added over time.
