​​

Polluta Propaganda Woodcuts (2018 - ) are a collection of 99 woodcuts that portray the artist’s imaginary futuristic ecotopian artist colony “Polluta”. The body of work is composed in three phases. The point of departure for Phase I (2018 - 2023) is China’s New Woodcut Movement in the 1930s and 1940s, whereas Phase II (2023 - present) is heavily drawn from Japanese historic ukiyo-e prints. Phase III (future project) will be a collection of architectural wood carvings portraying Polluta’s ever-shifting appearance.

Phase I: Welcome to Polluta! (2018-2023)

Phase II: Power to the Animals (2023 - ongoing)

Phase III (future project) 

"By using woodblock printing Michelle Fung has become a master of her art [...] That sharp intelligence like the tools she uses in making her woodblocks means her art is much more than an intellectual exercise. It comes from both head and heart.

 

​Full of soul and beautifully crafted with the addition of a jazz like sense of improvisation, her work is absolutely unique.

 

"​Norman deBrackinghe, Photographer

"I am now coming to view your woodcuts not as JUST images to be looked at, but as

works that must also be read/deciphered, consistent and appropriate with your ascribing

them as being "compositions". Looking forward to viewing/reading more of the Polluta Propaganda, as conveyed via your growing Polluta Animal Woodcut Collection."​
