The Red Hat
Bill Woodrow is known for recycling discarded domestic goods and fashioning them into new sculptures. In the early 1980s, he built his reputation on a series of ‘cut-out’ sculptures, manipulating and transforming the metal surface of a household appliance into another familiar object without detaching it from the original. In The Red Hat, Woodrow has done just that – extracting the form of a violin and bow from an old metal spin dryer.
