B is for Mutant? Z is for Secret? Bill Woodrow's unique alphabet offers a glimpse into a playful and endlessly inventive artistic mind. Part sketchbook, part riddle, this small clothbound book presents Woodrow's weird and whimsical look at letters that turns the ordinary on its head. One of Britain's foremost sculptors, Woodrow (b. 1948) is best known for his transformations of everyday objects into new forms; like those works, the deceptively simple illustrations in this alphabet unravel the common-place to suggest surprising new meanings. AUTHOR: Bill Woodrow is best known for his 'cut-out' sculptural works. A finalist for the Turner Prize in 1986, he was one of three artists chosen to make a sculpture for the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2000 and was elected a Royal Academician in 2002.
