Description:
Bill Woodrow
Typewriter And Tennis Court, 1981
Ink on handmade paper
310mm x 250mm
This work consists of two pieces of handmade paper on top of each other. In the centre of the bottom page is a red ink drawing of a typewriter which can be seen through a torn opening in the top piece of paper. Woodrow has drawn a tennis court on top piece of paper. Both images appear to be mirrored in a surreal manner.
