Early Work

One of my earliest works was a 12-page book of hand-made collages. It was published in a limited edition of 26 bound copies by Gallery 612 in Tokyo in 1986. This “mail art” edition was sent out on the Eternal Network. I lost track of the original art, and for years tried to locate a copy without success. Then—out of the blue— I received an email last weekend from Stephen Perkins, Curator of Art at the Lawton Gallery, UW-Green Bay, informing me that he possessed the originals! Holy Moly!

In the near future I’ll produce a facsimile of the Japanese edition and anyone interested.in receiving a copy should email me: conquest@beuyscouts.com
