Prize Ribbon (Red)
Sackville, Canada: Self-published, 2021
4 layer screenprint on Kozuke paper, Yamoto glue
28 x 10 x 2.5 cm
Edition of 5 signed and numbered copies
Prize Ribbon (Red) adopts the "Red-white-blue" Chinatown tote bag motif, synonymous with practicality, affordability, durability and the resilience of the working-class and migrant populations around the world, and equates it with a symbol of honour and tribute. The grid was hand-drawn and then translated into a 4-layer screenprint on Kozuke paper. Printed by Jess Palmer at Open Studio, Toronto. The edition (numbered on an accompanying certificate) consists of five ribbons, each unique.
The work is available as part of the fundraising auction The Sweetest Little Thing, an annual event whose proceeds benefit Struts Gallery and the Owens Art Gallery.
