Peter Blake - collage/print Rooks moor Gallery, Bath

Having just dropped in to the Rooksmoor and Rostra Gallery in Bath yesterday while passing,  I was reminded how much of Peter Blake's screen printed work has its beginnings in collage. An exhibition of his more recent prints are based on collaged environments; famous city landscapes, eg Place de la Concorde in Paris from an old etching collaged with dancers and characters from different eras. Seeing this work prompts me to reconsider developing my collages for screen prints, something I have neglected recently in favour of developing digital and illustrative outcomes.
