Title	Small black 'Bushey' sketchbook
Date	April 1980-[June 1980?]
Description	Small black 'Bushey' sketchbook inscribed on the inside front cover, 'started April 4th 1980 (Good Friday)'. Contains pencil and ink sketches, detailed drawings and notes related to Dye's period of experimentation with mirrors and anamorphic sculpture, much of it untitled. Includes sketches of mirrored pyramids and their anamorphic images, some sexually explicit, though most are of a [female] face. Also includes sketches of a hand gripping a rounded, possibly phallic, object and sketched ideas for anamorphic installations. The end page of the notebook contains intensely personal introspection.
Related Material	See 2016.1/D/38 and 2016.1/G/2/4 for photographs of anamorphic images of a [female] face seen in mirrored pyramids; 2016.1/D/39 for a layered photographic collage of a hand gripping an unseen [phallic?] object; 2016.1/E/40 for colour positives of anamorphic experimentation incorporating a [female] face; 2016.1/E/43 for colour positives of a clenched hand holding a phallic shaped object; and 2016.1/B/3 for a drawing of male hand gripping an unseen object.
