"Johnson’s collages are silly and serious, salacious and sober, high-spirited and morose, dosed in loneliness and dazzling in the disco, and above all they are well fabricated and well composed, leading the eye clearly from item to item, no matter how banal or ridiculous those items may be. Each work is an invitation to communicate, be communicated with, and either continue the dialogue or withdraw from it and peer at it from the edge. Johnson’s playfulness and plaintiveness both characterize even the slightest of his works."
