The Collage Works
These small-scale Collage works on paper have been selected from the respective series: "Landscape and Memory" and "The Prime Elements." They have been produced as a coherent body of work in their own right. The collage pieces are based upon the interplay of components that I refer to as Prime Elements. The components such as geographic location, personal experience, prime numbers, and primary colors etc. are "irreducible" in the sense that I regard them as being absolute. 1. Prime Numbers (those numbers that are divisible only by themselves and the number one) 2. The primary colors of red, yellow, and blue often used as successive glazes as well as direct application. 3. References to the "Continental Divide" - the watershed whereby precipitation flows either to the west (Pacific) or east (Atlantic) oceans. The Continental Divide is used as a metaphor for the complex relationship between the left and right hand sides of the brain. 4. The use of postage stamps (both British and Canadian), references to writings and images appropriated from historical sources serve as personal and universal symbols of communication in the context of the illusiveness of memory.

Solstice
Solstice consists of 37 mixed media panels each 15 in X 15 in which when installed comprise a single work of over 23 feet in length. The title refers to the angular setting of the sun at both the summer and winter solstices and indeed can be read as a calendar divided partly into the four seasons. The piece makes reference to the Continental Divide, lines of latitude, prime numbers, primary colors and the spectral shift of the sun. Autobiographical material permeates the work which is the largest single piece that Peter Deacon has ever produced.
