Dr Elizabeth Day completed her first Doctorate, Discontinued Narratives of Migration at the University of Western Sydney in 2011. This thesis has been developed into a monagraph on her work, edited by Nicholas Tsoutas with articles by Drs Anna Gibbs, Ann Finegan and Jacqueline Millner, locating her work in contemporary interdisciplinary thinking and practice. Migration for her is a figure of interdisciplinarity. It also enables her to draw on her own biography as a British migrant that informs her interest in the disastrous meeting of British and Aboriginal Law in the image of the 'prison on the landscape', a major reason for the settlement of Australia.

Since 2011 she has worked on a number of projects along the banks of the redolent in colonial history, Parramatta River, on sites including the Parramatta Female Factory, the Justice Precinct and is currently exhibiting Invisible Words/Invisible Worlds produced with the assistance of an Australia Council New Work Grant, at the Stores Building adjacent to Parramatta Gaol. Using ficto-criticsm as a form that draws from, as well as integrates a number of sources, the current exhibition (March 2020) part of the Ngurra Project curated by Graham King and Billy Gruner addresses the violence of the British institutional imposition on the landscape. Produced with assistance from the University of Newcastle's Centre for Solar Voltaics, enabling the use of SEM imagery, Invisible Words/Invisible Worlds draws a poetic comparison between the invisible quantum world and personal histories described with unraveled op-shop garments forming text drawings.

Myco Logic is an ongoing community networking project produced with curator Claire Taylor in co-operation with a group of mental health residents, using handcrafting as a way of networking and bringing together clients, families and carers.

Elizabeth is currently a co-curator at the Boom Gate Gallery, Long Bay and the focus of her current PhDXtra will be centred on the idea of the 'prison on the landscape'. This writing will also encompass another collaborative work, The Longford Project, also based on the premise that Australia is a crime scene.
