These collage works have developed out of my frustration with my own working methods with collage over the last year. I have recently reconsidered the Dada tradition of the
role of chance (serendipity?) in the making of an art work. While the idea of an art work totally created as a matter of chance is a modernist fantasy, the concept has its appeal. These works are essentially homage to
the earlier forms of modernism and those artists and artworks which first inspired me.
