"Relationships With Images" by Artist Joseph Staples

"Vancouver-based artist Joseph Staples has been cutting and reassembling images for the past two decades. His practice has always benefitted from looking back at older works, finding new ways of approaching images that he left too soon or could be renewed. Relationships With Images: The Collages of Joseph Staples traces Staples' journey, sharing not just how he got to where he is today but more recognizable works alongside ones you may not have seen."

""Using copies of the same image again and again to make collages, sometimes for years, became my way of setting limits to push my practice. This is where the book's title comes from, these long term relationships with images." Joseph Staples has launched a pre-sale for the project via Kickstarter. Open to illustrators of all kinds, it's a chance to share your work, win great prizes, reach an international audience, and be part of something special!"

Joseph Staples has spent two decades cutting and reassembling images to create collages. He revisits older works to find new approaches and renew images he left too soon. The project Relationships With Images: The Collages of Joseph Staples presents both recognizable pieces and lesser-seen works from throughout his career. Staples uses repeated copies of the same image over months or years to set limits that drive experimentation. The project's book title reflects these long-term relationships with images. A pre-sale for the book is available on Kickstarter. The initiative invites wider visibility and potential engagement from illustrators and audiences.
