With Cotton, Christopher Martin Tells a Story of Race in America
As a tattoo and textile artist, Christopher Martin is importantly guided by the tradition of folk art. His reverence for text, appreciation for the history of his material and careful collection of imagery are powerful reminders of how folk and outsider art traditions can be reinvented for new generations, new eras. Martin’s work is the stark, blunt immediacy that challenges the weight of our world with naked solidarity.
