Basement Babe | 934 Gallery

‘Basement Babe’ a solo exhibition by Sarah C Blanchette
934 Gallery | Columbus, Ohio
June 4 - July 24, 2021

Exhibition Statement:

The babe exists within the wood paneling walls of her childhood basement, where all means of experimentation are a meditation on growth, womanhood, and autonomy. She is surrounded by obscured versions of her own image. Relishing in her own gaze - in a world closed off from reality.
