"Shakespearean Flocks and Other Follies" Special Spring Reception featuring artist Jenny Pope
We’ll be hosting a special reception on Thursday, April 12 from 5:00–7:00 p.m. for you to meet Jenny, see the artwork, learn more about the color-reduction woodcut process, and enjoy light refreshments in the spring light. We hope to see you here! Jenny Pope is a local full-time artist known for her large, beautiful color-reduction woodcut prints, often featuring compelling juxtapositions of well-known species with odd or interesting elements from their natural histories. For this special show at the Cornell Lab, Pope has put together an exhibition that showcases her interest in endangered species, invasive species, and the bizarre mythologies that have been created to help explain the amazing things that birds do. As she explains in her artist statement, “I make this work because I believe that with education and understanding of the environment, people will learn to respect and attach importance to our own backyards and beyond. My hope is that my work provides an interesting avenue for people to contemplate our environment.” This exhibition is sure to be one of the highlights of the year.
