In all of his collage work, David King is interested in transformation, and, in particular, how he can re-use and re-imagine old images into entirely new contexts and meanings. His  vision is to create pieces, which, despite all that troubles the world, mirror the peacefulness and benevolent energy that is also part of his own experience. The bejeweled environments King decorates reflect that utopian ideal, and are meant for the viewer to follow a path towards their own peaceful, jeweled existence.
