Michael Day Tutorial

• Typographic paper
• Buy rolls instead of fixing sheets together (improvisation is good, however)
• Figure out how to exhibit them (floor, wall etc)
• Traces of things, paper maché on edge of wall, what's left behind
• Smaller scale, delicate, botanical - larger drawings more sci-fi, imaginative, not objective
• Tracing the same drawing, adapting it at each layer
• Consider ways to display, not just a floor sculpture
• Qualities of drawing on tracing paper
• Drawing onto the wall directly, achieve the watercolour painterly effects in the drawings on tracing paper
• Transparency of the ink - emerging, disappearing
• Separate works, don't have to force several ideas into the one piece, separate them and work on each
• May have several works in the space together
• Transaction between accuracy and error
• John James Audobon
• What does the work say to the viewer?
• Triffid like
• Quatermess (Sci-fi film? Tv series?) Quatermass and the Pit (1958) Bernard Quatermass
• Think about specifying what I'm drawing, habitat etc
• Fungus motif - constantly reappears in my work, ideas of poison, psychedelics, reproduces 'invisibly' - spores, air flow - breath, grows on dead things, death facing
