The storming sea washes over the jetty-stones and the lighthouse at their end. This is a beacon to guide one through all manner of rough weather beyond the merely physical, if only one remains receptive to its guidance.

Thanks for your kind comment, Rigo. You are absolutely correct: Max Ernst, along with René Magritte & Joseph Cornell, was one of my first artistic influences; in fact, these three great men inspired me to become an artist when I first saw their work (aged 6 to 9 years). I've been doing collages with images taken from 19th-century wood engravings for about 25 years. During that time, I've been blessed by the friendship & mentoring of Jim Harter, one of the great collagists & wood-engraving archivists of our time. It is his shoulders, & those of Max Ernst & Wilfred Sätty, upon which I have been carried in my artistic endeavors, & what you have so generously called my marvelous ways. (I remember hearing that it was Isaac Newton who said: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." It is certainly the case that if I have seen further, it is also for this very reason.)
