The Accidental Egyptian and Occidental Arrangements features over 25 photograph-based collages of xerox imagery on cut paper by Timothy Hull and Paul Mpagi Sepuya. Culling from their personal image collection, the collages reflect not only the artists’ personal aesthetics and sensibilities but new compositions and relationships. This project furthers their respective use of xerox collages and zine formats. The imagery centers around varied arrangements with repeated visual elements. Deconstructed portraiture along with images of Coastal Maine, Rainforests and Egyptian ruins all take cues from each other to suggest various relationships of cultural and humanistic qualities. The genesis for the project and subsequent book was inspired by the invitation to produce a piece together for TOKION’s February 2010 collaboration issue. The collaborative experience between Timothy Hull and Paul Mpagi Sepuya proved fruitful and cohesive enough that the collation of the works into a book became imperative.
