    Anarch

    Rare Books

    "This collection is our third collaboration with the remarkable Joseph Mills. An artist of unique vision and exceptional skill, Mills is influenced in particular by the Dada and Surrealist movements, and by his personal experience of psychosis. He describes his earliest artistic accomplishment as 'simply surviving through creativity.' Starting out as a photographer, a snow-induced confinement indoors kicked off a second creative practice: collage ... In this gorgeous new book we present silk-screened images, a medium relatively new to Mills but one he deploys with his own inimitable genius. 'Anarch' is fascinating, beautiful and truly unique"--Publisher's description.
