Superman and Satori

Here are some collage works  I executed. The  first 2 images are from "Man and Superman" suite done in 1989. I  documented a performance of me "putting on the ritz" in Lethbridge. Like Nietsche's "ubermensch", I am king of all  I survey. Juxtaposed to the  ideal mass media images  of masculinity found in fashion advertising.
