This  exhibition of collages by Cecil Touchon covers an early period of Touchon's collage making from 1984 to 1986. 

 Many of these works contain snippets of canned good labels; maps; grids; solid, various colored geometric shapes reminicent of buildings seen from above; drips of paint transformed into island clusters; transparent mylar (geometric clouds maybe?), letters both printed and written in various scales,
     There is a play on the notion of an airial view of  archetectral structures, such as a malls sitting on a parking lots, or drawings of streets being plotted out, or bits of maps and other topographical signs and indicators. This reveals a preoccupation with the notion of mapping - perhaps a mental or historical mapping - and the abstract representation of space and objects contained within it.
