physical culture encyclopedias and magazines. I often used
photographic sources combined with coloured or black and
white illustrations from old books. This use of materials was different from artists like Kurt Shwitters or Picasso,
who were more concerned with the textural and assemblage qualities of collage. I was more influenced by the hallucinatory
qualities, especially the collage work of Max Ernst and also, as in the paintings of Rene Magritte, the visual pun.
These collages appear in productions such as, Saturated Scenes (Intermedia Press 1973), and on the covers of books, cassettes and LP
record covers, plus in limited edition prints. The 1971 suite of collages, The Black Arts in Antilla, was originally published in the
periodical Lodgisticks in 1975. More recently my collages were featured in the 1997 book, Mad Boys, by Vancouver poet, Jamie Reid ,
published by Coach House Press, Toronto.
