| Place of origin |
Landscape, architecture and optical illusion are recurrent themes in Sarah Woodfine's work. Here the night sky, moon and snowy field are conjured up by heavy pencil shading and blank paper alone. The oversized wood-grain effect of the windmill, illuminated by the moonlight, gives a fantastical effect.
