The Conference of the Birds' was written by the Persian mystic Farid ud-Din Attar, a well-travelled poet, in 1177. The imagery in Graham Day's monoprints is derived from popular talismans found in the Middle East and India. Day specifically chose to work with these images by collecting thirty examples from a wide variety of sources and recutting them onto wooden printing blocks. He printed them by hand, using relief printmaking, which is inevitably concerned with mirror images and symmetry. Born in central London in 1946, Graham Day received his MA in Fine Art from The Slade School of Art, UCL, in 1973. He lectured part time in Fine Art between 1973 and 2006. Since 1974 he has held a number of solo exhibitions in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and the USA. He lives and works in London and Wiltshire.
