John Munshour is a Brooklyn-based artist who works primarily in collage. His background is in photography, a medium he has largely abandoned since its relationships to beauty and iconography became troubling to him. In the past, he has also taken a collage-based approach to sound as a member of several bands that no one has liked, and still records occasionally under the name H.L.A. When he is not cutting and pasting things, he is a member of the organizing committee of The Public School: New York.
