Inhaltsangabe

In this interdisciplinary work by two masters of their respective forms, insightful commentary is paired with evocative imagery in a project that started organically on social media and begs the question - is the medium indeed the message? Having completed all of the artwork and edits on the book just before his passing, Cliff Eyland's dazzling creations are paired with George Toles' brilliant prose to create an experience quite unlike any other. Edited by Rhodes Scholar and award-winning artist/playwright Thomas Toles, this collection is the first published collaboration for these very respected and highly decorated Manitoban artists.
