Description
This sculpture has the form of an open book. Words, or phrases are represented by rectangular voids in the page - giving the work visual rhythm, parallel with the pace and metre of prose or poetry. These details represent real texts - in this case the writing of William Blake. The notion of illumination is a play on the word - illustration or the admission of light into the composition
