Color reduction woodcut print. Michigan artist. Jenny Pope is a printmaker and ceramicist from Hartland, Michigan. Pope studied printmaking in the BFA program at Grand Valley State University ({u2018}05). She continues to make prints today at her home studio in Ithaca, NY. Her art features the environment, animals, and their relationships with each other. She uses color reduction printing; every color is printed with the same block, which she carves down as she progresses from light to dark. Pope was a featured artist at the 2016 Ann Arbor Street Art Fair.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

omg I love it submitted by lisa on August 3, 2018, 1:54pm I've been thinking about the evolution of Art Fair as I peruse art prints in the library collection, trying to rate a bunch of items to get a badge in the Summer Game, and here's a print that seems (to me) to speak to what's happened: a death, of sorts.

Ann Arbor! submitted by jgetty on August 31, 2018, 11:09am Took me a minute to study this and see that it is Ann Arbor during the Art Fair. I love it. I usually don't like dark colors, but I like this!

Kind of nifty. submitted by tbbrown76 on August 31, 2018, 8:42pm I don't think I'm getting the main ideas, but I still like the composition and simplicity. 4/5 stars.

Fossilized Art Festival submitted by i'm a blobfish on June 18, 2019, 11:15am I get the naming, but the dark colors really take away from the piece. I guess that's okay though because I suppose it's supposed to feel heavy and old.

Fossilized Art Festival submitted by c_zhang on June 18, 2019, 12:32pm The composition is very cool, and I like how the colors complement the mood/theme of this piece.

Fossilized Art Festival submitted by SBNB on July 14, 2019, 7:57pm I loved this before I realized it was Ann Arbor. I think it's really interesting and fun to look closely at.

Fossilized Art Festival submitted by lstorc on August 27, 2019, 4:43pm Fossilized Art Festival is dark and dreary at first, but grows steadily interesting up close.
