Jenkins (1923-2012) started producing collages in the 1950s and continued throughout his career. Although they are a little-known aspect of his oeuvre, he commented in his 1972 monograph Anatomy of a Cloud, "The collages to me are like diagrams. Burnt parchment maps giving indication of the terrain. Emblems that go back to another ancestral time and mean something I cannot totally explain but can feel as pointing to a place.
