Ribbon Fence is a series of colorful monoprints by Victoria Martinez newly published by Process/Process. Join us for a special reception and exhibition viewing.

Working at our Pilsen print studio, Martinez composed each image in real time, first by painting the wrought iron fences common to Chicago’s Lower West Side with ink made from hibiscus flowers; then, by running ribbon-like, vinyl tape through the press in playful arrangements; and finally, by adding shapes in various colors. The works in Ribbon Fence incorporate plastic ribbon sourced from a nearby hardware store and natural pigments.
