Acquisition | Edie Fake

We are excited to announce the University of Michigan Museum of Art's recent acquisition of Edie Fake’s Entanglement, 2025, as part of the Art at Home program.

Entanglement, a woodblock print, merges Fake's interest in queer spaces of potential and the aesthetics of ornament with a new subject of chromatic and compositional exploration: the board game. A 14-color relief print, Entanglement was created from 8 hand-carved and laser-cut woodblocks, mounted to cloth-wrapped board. The square print takes the form of a colorful board game, with paths like a woven tapestry: its warps and wefts a series of twists, turns, and switchbacks. 

Art at Home is the University of Michigan's lending library of original artworks for students to take home and live with in their residence hall rooms throughout the academic year. Featuring a growing collection of small-scale works by contemporary artists—many with deep ties to Michigan—Art at Home is co-curated by student leaders.
