Photo Montage


The surrealists believed that anyone with a pot of glue and a pair of scissors could be a visual artist. In collage the emphasis is on vision and arrangement rather than technique. Over the years I've cut up and recombined black and white photographs I found in old magazines to form strange and sometimes strikingly dream-like images. My photo collages have appeared on the cover of books, magazines, and recordings, and as illustrations for A Newcomer's Guide to the Afterlife, by Daniel Quinn and Tom Whalen, as well as my own novel The Double and collection of prose poems Carnival Aptitude. Some of my collages are available on T-shirt designs from cafepress: http://www.cafepress.com/ldp
