12/02/14 Sign Up Tutorial, Stephen Boyd

Notes:
Frans Hals Museum - Glenn Brown

Botanical drawings - a method of description, bringing reality to the imaginary drawings

Mark Wallinger - hybrid race horses
--> joggling of two images 'grafted' together

Cabinet of curiosities - taxidermy mash ups, point in history before specialism (Wunderkabinett)

Pierre-Joseph Redouté - roses, botanical watercolours
--> Teylers Museum

Tree grafting (process)

Create sculptures/3D versions of plants like in my drawings, draw, document them

Binding papers together through water/pressure - pressing seeds/plant parts into soaked paper

Drawings in colour?

Drawings work better small, could go even smaller

Grafting artworks together - making viewer aware that they are imaginary drawings, showing imaginary aspects

Show the 'seams' of how the drawings/artworks are grafted/collaged together
Scar Tissue - grafts/gaps in my drawings? Fill them in, but make it clear it's another part of the drawing, not blended in

Dutch tulip vase - rarity/aesthetics of plant dictate social position, how they are displayed/privileged

Thomas Struth - photos of people viewing artwork, mirroring

How will the drawings be received?

Cyanotype - botanical drawings? Draw from the photographic centre - follows the circular scope of drawings, ideas mentioned before

Vitamin D - Chinese artists achieving a lot of detail without a huge effort/time dump

Treating paper before drawing - pushing drawing beyond the comfort zone of the white, flat paper
Silverpoint drawing

List conventions I'm following in my work and what they announce, e.g. botanical illustration conventions

photograms of natural/plant material, malformations of nature (no name given, try to find artist)
Angela Easterling?

Get transparent mapping pins for displaying drawings, work well under lighting
