This set of collages was begun in the summer of 1997. The idea for making them arose in response to an assignment I had given to a drawing class to produce serial imagery within the confines of a small book (pamphlet) format. What occurred to me was the idea of putting to use some very old cubist-oriented line drawings (which were digitally scanned and then printed on to the book pages) which were then used as starting points for selecting and assembling materials taken mostly from magazines. In the absence of having to make highly rationalized, "formal" pieces, as was my habit in producing multiple color lithographs, the collages very quickly became an immediate, spontaneous, quickly executed testing environment for a flood of visual ideas.
