In the Studio… lately

“Collage is the systematic exploitation of the coincidental or artificially-induced encounter of two or more unrelated realities on an apparently inappropriate plane — and the spark of poetry that leaps across the gaps between them.”

— Max Ernst

A quick flip through one of my collage diaries… filled with 365 collages.

This daily practice is a reminder that all the little efforts we make really do add up when repeated over time. I’m now working in the 2025 diary and posting each day’s collage to my Instagram story. (Follow me on Instagram.)

Many who viewed this video have had questions about the book, materials, etc… I’ve written about all of that on my blog.

A January 2024 article in The Times (London) also features the collage diary.


“Postcards from home: La Marca 1,” collage on cardboard packaging, 6 x 4”.
