John Stezaker uses collage to create his powerful, sometimes disturbing images. He uses found images from magazines, postcards and books and re arranges them in such a way, so that it gives the image a new meaning. The content and the context has now been changed into something new.
This image is one of many taken from the 'Marriage' series, where Stezaker used famous faces showing the male and female faces as one whole image. It creates a disjointed harmony between male and female, each one struggling to be seen over the other.
