Johnson embraces the practice of combining words and images, homage and satire, art and junk. In this mixed media work, Johnson includes a photograph of an installation of thirty of his own collage-constructions, children’s stickers and elements of drawing. His artworks are filled with visual puns and contradictions that defy any singular meaning.
