Title	Presentation board titled 'Doorway Drawing'
Date	1981
Description	Presentation board featuring a black and white photograph of an anamorphic drawing mounted on grey card. The drawing - of a copulating couple - has been painted in sections on the door and walls of an unidentified room. A typescript label gives the title, date and medium of the work.
Notes	An anamorphic image only reveals itself when viewed from a particular perspective or when viewed through a transforming optical device, such as a mirror. 'Doorway Drawing' can only be viewed at a certain point where sections of the drawing - painted on two walls, on the outside of a half-open door and reflected in a mirror - come together to form an image of a copulating couple.
Related Material	See 2016.1/D/30 for photographs of 'Doorway Drawing'; and 2016.1/B/6 for preparatory sketches of the work.
