[title page] 1994

Editor: This is Bill Woodrow's "[title page]," and it looks like a field of stars, almost like a punch card. What can you tell me about it? Curator: I see a stark interrogation of the printmaking process. Consider the labor involved in creating these perforations. Is it industrial, or by hand? What is the social context of such repetitive work? Editor: So it's less about the image and more about how it was made? Curator: Precisely. How does this piece challenge traditional notions of artistic skill versus craft? Editor: I never thought about the actual making of the dots before. Fascinating. Curator: Indeed, it makes you consider the means of production inherent in art itself.
