About Two Worlds

Handel Street Projects is pleased to announce About Two Worlds, an exhibition of new works by British artist David Mabb. In this new exhibition, Mabb presents a work in two parts. In the first part, pages from a facsimile edition of William Morris’ Kelmscott edition of his late romance The Wood Beyond the World, has been overlaid with enlarged recreations of pages from Russian artist El Lissitzky’s acclaimed book About Two Squares. In contrast, in the second part, Mabb has also overlaid Edward Burne Jones’ illustration of the Maid from The Wood Beyond the World onto a facsimile edition of About Two Squares.
