British artist John Stezaker creates photographic collages using old Hollywood film stills, vintage photographs and travel postcards. His work has Surrealist and Dada qualities. He juxtaposes two images together to create a new image. Here is some of his work:

    
  
   

            

   

 This particular series of works is what interested me since there is a male and female in each      piece, thus relating to my work, Androgyny.
