Notes

As this work could not be located at the time the Willem Boshoff Word Forms and Language Shapes 1975-2007 exhibition was being curated, it does not appear in the catalogue. The importance of this work as a transition piece cannot be overstated,  the base was produced in 1982/83 whilst making the 370 Day Project - the bereloid form is part of Letter B of the Blind Alphabet made in 1993-94.

Accompanied by the Standard Bank Gallery, Willem Boshoff: Word Forms and Language Shapes 1975-2007 exhibition catalogue.
