Jean Michel Basquiat was cut from a Barbican leaflet (Boom For Real, photo by Edo Bertoglio).

He has been stitched to a page from A Concise History Of Modern Painting by Herbert Read. Thames And Hudson, 30 Bloomsbury Street, London WC1. Sixth impression, 1964. First published 1959. Printed in Great Britain by Jarrold and Sons Ltd, Norwich. 485 plates, 100 in colour. Lambeth Public Libraries. M1465. L793424.

The biscuit comes from a Co-op food advert, taken from Time Out London (March 22-28, 2016. No. 2372).

The Amazonian basket is used by women to carry bitter cassava, to make bread. Taken from Artefactos by Liliana Villegas and Benjamin Villegas. The photograph was taken by José Fernando Machado, Jorge Eduardo Arango, Diego Sampler or Diego Miguel Garcé. It is unclear which.
