In December 2004 veteran artist Peter Clarke exhibited a body of 100 collages, produced over a number of years, at Michael Stevenson. Each fan-shaped collage is accompanied by beautifully written text either quoted or written by Clarke to describe the thoughts of a character who has influenced his life in some way, whether historical, literary, biblical, imaginary or real. In this book published to coincide with the exhibition, each work is reproduced full-page and full-colour. The plates are preceded by an interview conducted by Michael Stevenson in which Clarke talks about his life and work.
