- Curator's comments
- The original design for this print was composed on a manual typewriter. The typeface was then enlarged through a photocopier and printed in silver. The BM also has a letterpress version that was published in 1991 in volume 2 of the artist's 'The Sydney Morning' series (2014,7088.8.1). In a note included in that volume, Tipping calls it a "love poem".
Screenprinted in silver on thick white wove paper by the artist and Alison White in Adelaide. From the folio entitled 'Word Works' (Kings Cross, New South Wales, 1979) (also called 'Airpoet: word works'), which has differing edition sizes for the individual prints within it (between 18 and 21). This print is numbered 19 out of an edition of 20.
