" Originally drawn and written as a series of online poetic vignettes, UNSPENT LOVE addresses themes such as hope, fear, and human frailty. Evolving through numerous iterations, including a gallery installation supported by the Nick Novak Fellowship at Open Studio, UNSPENT LOVE most recently appeared as an experimental wall installation at YYZ Artists’ Outlet. One chapter of this work won first place in the graphic narrative category of This Magazine’s Great Canadian Literary Hunt in 2010.
Conundrum Press is thrilled to announce the book version of the project, complete with a letterpressed wraparound jacket printed at Gaspereau Press.

Clearly, I am a very lucky girl to have Toronto-based printmaker and book artist Shannon Gerard as one of my Thesis professors! So when she asked for volunteers to help wheat paste the town to promote her upcoming book launch at YYZ for Unspent Love, I jumped on the opportunity!

Many of the images Melissa Cormier and I posted up along Dundas St. W. and Ossington Ave. are still up, but I will be sure to photograph them and post them before they melt away!
