Here's a better shot of Again, oil on linen, 30.5 x 22 inches, 2023. Again, there was another mass shooting. Again, children being slaughtered by bombs. Again, again, again.

Just kinda tripped over their transphobia and landed on autistic stereotyping 😂

Opening reception this Friday, March 21st from 6-9pm! Come out and explore our March exhibitions featuring works from artists Echo Martin @morbidmediocrity, Elizabeth Tolson @msliztolson, and Jay Mueller @jaymuellerart. On view at 934 Gallery March 21 - April 12.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT · Echo Martin presents Proof of Life

“I’ve struggled, like many trans artists, to respond to this moment in history in a clearly defined way: there is too much input and only so much mental capacity for outrage, fear, and sorrow. For me, this manifested as artist block, a clammy state of questioning whether I could make anything at all, much less work that is meaningful in this time division and unbridled hatred for the other.

Within this body of work there is a painting I started last spring, while I was riding high on fresh hormones and the invigorating sensation of growing pains in my breasts. Finishing the last few marks it needed, after the election, became a strenuous chore marking the stark transition between then and now. It hangs next to drawings that, while comparatively ephemeral and scattershot, now feel precious as reminders that making is still possible. As the title implies, this show simply states that I am alive and here, my hands and eyes can still work together, and I will continue as we all must.”

Born in South Bend, Indiana, Echo Martin (they/them) is an artist, musician, and horror movie fanatic living in Columbus, Ohio. They hold an MFA from Ohio State University and have completed residencies at The Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, The Vermont Studio Center, and the Pont-Aven Ecole d’Art. They entered the world in 1985. taken in 934 Gallery by @morbidmediocrity
