Collage: Dress For The Moment

In casual distant memory box
On top of sand dunes cluttered
Viewing metal porpoises rusting
In calm sea dancing
To aquatic underwater symphonies
Swirling Wurlitzer blows bubbles
Drifting galleons down supper hastily
Inside out ribbons of fancy
Trailing against soft pink handshake
Cut into sections side pockets
Dowsed with petals silver showers
Enveloping her slow smoke bellows
Raising onwards to ageing rafters
Oiled torso twisting delicate
Drapes of silken blue tender
Inside neon red signs of adulation
Collecting teardrops in a tea cup
Without spilling the buried temptation
All rise
Dressed in shining golden armour
All rise
Dressed in tight leather tourniquet
All rise
Dressed in slim suit soft tailored
All rise
Dressed in white gown alter scurry
All rise
And wet embrace
Your invisible friend
Whilst slowly
Entwined with barbed wire
And casually
Spoon fed dripping honey
Yet always
With everlasting freedom
Dressing
For the moment

Collage: Free Time Must Be Used Productively

Collecting dust in a rain cap
Without Archibald crouching shadows
Smiling like an orange Nuclear flower
Entering silver goblets carefully
Brazen whip cracks tidy
Living in a bucket lonely
If only the cryptic bunnies could dance
Wet squelching feet
Rome red polished door
Solid green laughter
Watching the tartan bombay numb squad
Amidst metal tins and psychedelic bins
Play with transistor lottery nests
Molten beats drip
Rectangular chocolate eye flutters
As time floats past
Astride bronze chariot wheelbarrow
Our time so free
We must use it wisely
Our time so free
With a productive conductor
Of elemental traffic cone mountains
Transmitting
Intermittently
Free time
Must be used
Productively

Collage: You Have Time

Artificial fragments combust
Two coins rusty till burnt orange
A scattering of audible applause
Individual hand cuffs for the dejected
Thinking with pink visions
Steel door closes in a flash
Clanking with buckets crashing
Into a ceramic pond
Littered with frozen fish
Caught in suspended animation
Looking for a clean breath
Not dust bound
Without sky mites crawling
Over damp naked
Bodies of last years stories
And yet it still remains
In Country cold splintered
That with knee bones knocking
And finger nails chewed red
We still have time
To flatten our egos
With a loose tear in thimble
And a virtual mind no barricades
Remembering without fear
Or haunting cloaked figurines
That we will always
Have  
Time


The above collage is 100cms x 100cms.

Cut-up words by Spartacus Mole

Collage: That Employee Will Not Be Discussing It

Here we have a collage that clearly shows the Stormtrooper style fascist approach that the Tory led Government, driven by the devious illuminated hidden hands within Whitehall, want to implement through the new proposed changes to employment law that would see employers given a free hand to get rid of any employee without question.

This complete disregard for the working class is clear for all to see, and would result in an almost tyrannical running of companies that would render the working classes even more powerless than before.

The Bilderberg Bitch 'Thatcher' destroyed the unions leaving workers high and dry and at the mercy of many of the nepotistic, greed filled, power hungry, and sociopathic control freaks that run many of the companies in existence today.

Everything up to this point is systematic in trying to silence, and keep down the working classes.

Why you may ask?

The answer is simple.

The working class are the majority, and majority rules.

This means that we, the working class have the power, and not the sinister grey suited reptoids that skulk and slither the corridors of power plagued by paranoid delusions of grandeur, fuelled by grotesque greed filled thoughts, and driven by a God like complex of hideous proportions.

Time for us all to finally wake up.

Abstract Collage: Sweet And Slow Voyeur

Here we have the second abstract collage that goes with the first piece of collage artwork called 'Darkest Tender'.

Both were created using the same materials and processes, and both are 100 cms x 70 cms. However where as the first collage 'Darkest Tender' is about the slightly darker side of eroticism, this piece called 'Sweet and Slow Voyeur', is about viewing the unattainable images in ones fantasies and dreams from a distance.

Although similar in style when seen together, the two pieces of collage artwork have a very different feel about them on closer inspection.

Both pieces of artwork are available via the deviant art link on our website.

Abstract Collage: Darkest Tender

This collage has been created using a mix of acrylic paints, ink, spray paints, and a collection of different magazines of varying texture.

The collage is called 'Darkest Tender', the dimensions are 100 cms x 70 cms, and the piece is about sexual yearning, isolation, eroticism, and the darker side of sexual practises.

Another collage has been created to go alongside the above image, and both of these are available via the deviant art link on our website.

The second collage that goes with this piece will be posted shortly for those of you who are interested. For those of you that are not interested just close your eyes, count to ten, and I am sure it will just go away by the time you look again.

My Big Sister



The above collage is again constructed using many pieces of the same image in an attempt to create the illusion of looking at multiple reflections of one image, but through fragments of broken glass.

This kaleidoscopic effect is quite psychedelic in a way, and although there are many sections to look at within the collage, I have tried to ensure that the main image to be seen, the focal point of the collage, is as central as possible.

I love the warm burnt orange and subtle yellow colours contained within this piece, and these fit nicely with the person this collage is about, and that person is my 'Big Sister'.

Invisible Barriers Of Catatonia

Are we blind to what's around us?

This black and white collage was constructed to symbolise the invisible divisions that separate each and every one of us as we go about our everyday lives.

Barriers stopping us from seeing the true extent of mankind's flaws allow us all to easily to drift into a catatonic state where we are almost oblivious to the turmoil, bloodshed, and destruction all around us.

Turning a blind eye to the suffering is in a way no different to inflicting the suffering, but being oblivious to the suffering because of the coma like state many of us exist in is another matter altogether.

I have chosen black and white imagery simply because colour can at times be one of the main reasons for divisions in life. Without colour life can immediately take on a whole new complexion, and in some ways become far more straight forward to a life with colour.

The Harridans: Songs to tap your feet to

Has the song started yet?

Here is a CD inlay for a two track album by experimental post-punk band The Harridans.

The two tracks contained on this album are:

1) Music for sheep

2) Murder to the beat

Track one is a deeply hypnotic, brain spank of a track, and revolves around one very simplistic rhythmic time signature that recycles itself over the course of the song with subtle embellishments that add colour and dynamics to the mix of linear guitar lines, and dark repetitious vocals.

Track two has an improvised drum and guitar intro that builds into an odd time tribal drum pattern which live can last for up to 30 minutes, before descending into the main theme of the song which is pinned into submission by a heavy, foreboding guitar part fit for the nearest disco abattoir. The song then turns back on itself and once again the tribal drum pattern is back, before an improvised outro leads the listener down yet another slippery garden path.

Doing The Rotten Rounds

"Don't worry about the natives"

The destruction of all that is wonderful
For a ghastly barrel
Of black gold
Carpet bomb yourself a new personality
Napalm victory into your palms sweaty and wet
And watch
As acrid
Dense
Scorching cordite clouds
Drift over charred bodies
With no movement
And no signs
Of weeping
Gathering up your commodities
Like a fat gluttonous child
You spit dummies onto roaring fires
Engulfing a recently flattened village
Filled to the brim
With the jewels of the earth
And as the blood red sun
Is obscured
By serpents
Spewing the clouds of your cruelty
The wagon of greed
Slowly starts to trundle away
Followed closely
By soulless
Agents of doom
Wandering like sheep
With no shepherd to be seen
Yet enjoying bloodlust cravings
In cold
Dark
Tortured
Internal
Lament

Collage by Heston Quiff

The pursuit of a new personality

Who do you want to be in life?

Here we have an old collage from the early nineties which was part of an exhibition that I held to show off my collage artwork.

The exhibition was held at my local library for a week and involved yours truly being subjected to a vast array of odd individuals passing through the library, and leaving incomprehensible comments in my comment book, along with faint odours of urine, hot sausage rolls, cold coffee, and Murray mints.

In hindsight it may have been an idea to construct some form of cordon to at least protect me from the flashes of insanity coming from the people viewing my work, but to be honest the whole experience was simply that, an experience, and I wouldn't change it for the world...although it would have been nice to actually sell something even if it was to somebody who smelt of cold coffee and piss!

As for the collage it is about the pursuit of a new identity, or new personality that is different from the one we exist as for most of our lives. Some people are happy with who they are, where as some people strive to become someone, or something else altogether.

Fragments of random universes

Universal fractures

Here we have a collage constructed using horizontal strips to try and create a multi-dimensional cross section of different universes all coexisting at the same time.

This idea is something that I apply to a great deal of my work as I am very interested in the possibility of this concept of multiple universes all coexisting at the same time being an reality.

Science Fiction has always been of interest to me, and time travel, along with multiple realities are the elements that have always intrigued me more than anything else.

Size up some

What is being 'Sized up'

This collage was created back in the winter of 2002.

Again the fragmented image is almost smashed together in a similar way to some of my other work. This is to create the illusion of two separate universes colliding together in a seemingly random manner, but linked together by the slogan of the actual piece.

What is it that is being 'Sized up'?

That is for you to decide.


This piece along with an enormous collection of different styles of artwork are available at INK Ltd's website at www.instantnowhere.moonfruit.com take a look and subscribe to your favourites.

Hitler and the honey bee

The darkness within light: Image 2

Here we have one more image from the conceptual body of work containing a previously posted collage titled 'The dead acrobat of asylum'.

The image of Hitler and his evil entourage spliced with a mans face covered with honey bees, is again a reference to something within life that brings darkness/death, and something in life that is of crucial importance to us (without bees where would we be-no pun intended), and therefore bringing us light/life.

All of the other images that go together to form this entire conceptual body of work will be available shortly via INK Ltd's website along with many other forms of creative works.

The dead acrobat of asylum

The darkness within light

Here we have a collage that is part of a selection of images that form part of a conceptual body of work that only use newspapers, black and white pictures, and any shading of words or images devoid of colour.

The main concept is basically 'The darkness within light', and can be interpreted in many ways by the viewer of the images.

The face behind the skull is child killer 'Ian Brady', easily one of the most evil men to crawl out of this country, and a perfectly good reason for bringing back the death penalty.

All of the content within this collage links in with the overall concept contained within the others that I have created, so to fully understand the piece they must all be viewed together, and this way they should all make perfect sense (Makes sense to me anyway).

The rest of the images in this conceptual collection will all be available to see shortly on the INK Ltd website. Details will follow soon.

Hockney's guardian angel

I feel like I am being watched daily

After sifting through some magazines I found some great images of the artist 'David Hockney' that I have decided to cut out and use within my collage artwork.

The above image of David Hockney is one of my favourites due to the huge fur coat that he is wearing, and the orange trilby styled hat that he has perched on his head.

I really love the colours on the wall behind him as well, and the fragment of slogan for cough sweets gives the image an extra dimension. I also like the old styled car that you can just see a part of as this gives the image more of a feel of the period the original photograph was taken in.

As for the model taking up the other half of the image, I decided to use this picture as I felt that because of the way she was looking, it was as if she was watching over the image of David Hockney like some type of guardian angel who had decided to keep an eye on him when he goes about his daily routine.

Is this a new root or an old Tree?

Collage 3

This Collage is all about the distraction techniques that we are deliberately subjected to every day that try to divert our eyes from the true nature of reality that is happening right in front of us.

What do you see?

What do you want to see?

Are we all too complacent to the fragments of reality that are riddled with pain and suffering all around us because we are all far too busy, and content to drink ourselves into oblivion, or immerse ourselves in a world in which our primal instincts of a sexual nature are all that really drives us.

When will we decide to see for ourselves, without distractions or external manipulation, the reality that we are told is reality, for the monumental illusion that it really is.
