The first volume of The Invisible Yoke, Carry Me Ohio, by Matt Eich hit the presses of the Swiss publisher, Sturm & Drang this September (2016). Carry Me Ohio is the first of three small-run volumes the notable publisher and emerging photographer have committed to producing together. In the words of Sturm & Drang :

Matt's eight year investigation into family, poverty and the ravaged beauty of the Ohio hinterlands will be published . . . just in time for an election that talks much about the people left behind without offering much in terms of a strategy how to help them. Eich's honest look gives those people a face and tells the story from their vantage point.

Copies of the book will be available at jdc Fine Art, from Sturm & Drang, and with select fine booksellers beginning this October.

jdc Fine Art is thrilled to announce we are now representing the work of the Virginia-based photographer Matt Eich. We have followed the work of this young artist for more than five years and remain impressed with its staying-power.

Eich photographs the psychology of place; his subject is the American Condition. The Artist is already a well-established photojournalist with a strong list of editorial clients- National Geographic, the New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and TIME among them. Eich is currently pursuing his MFA, and has caught the attention of the Swiss publisher Sturm & Drang. Sturm & Drang have committed to publishing four monographs with the artist; the first, Carry Me Ohio is scheduled to release this fall.
