Eric Knight

STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

I suppose my story is similar to many artists when it comes to the beginning of their love affair with collage. When I was a kid, I would browse the art books at the town library where my mother worked. Impressionism, Cubism, Dada, and above all, Surrealism. Une Semaine De Bont\u00e9<\/em>, Max Ernst\u2019s collage masterpiece, made a huge impression on me.<\/p>\n

When I first got serious about doing collage, post High School, it was Mail Art. I used to put a lot of time and energy into the letter and, almost more importantly, into the envelope. The end of my Mail Art was when the Post Office lost a love letter\/collage I sent to my girlfriend. It taught me to make collages on acid-free surfaces and put them in frames. So it was the end of my Mail Art, but not of collage!<\/p>\n
