If you are interested in exhibiting the Raw Material portfolio, please contact Monica through this website .

“Everything that surrounds us day to day is made of raw materials. Some of these are easily recognizable or relatively unchanged from their source, like wood. Others undergo significant transformation before they reach us, such as crude oil or tin. These materials are easily overlooked but come from our planet, at varying levels of expense, environmentally, energetically, in human labor etc. For this portfolio exchange, artists were asked to represent or pay homage to raw materials and their origins through their prints. “
