Bill Woodrow

Description

Woodrow's sculpture is one of a series in which he uses the head combined with a book as the central motif. Here the head resembles a piece of fallen statuary placed on the plinth; the book lies against the ear and the brain. A tree grows over the book, head and plinth, expressing the predominance of nature over man., his civilisation and wisdom. The monumental sculpture was installed in Trafalgar Square from March 2000.
