Such was the case with the ‘"Walletâ€"Cuckoo". The print is a twoâ€"color run with added tempera and collage, but the wallet image is a collagraph in which an actual old wallet of leather makes up the plate.

But he takes scrap maâ€" terials or seemingly unâ€" usable objects and transâ€" forms them into unique works of art.
