longing (winter edition)

Amy Leigh

This one-page mini-zine is part of a larger book project created for Word + Image (ART 425) at the University of Alberta in early 2023. It speaks to the loneliness of the long Winters in Edmonton, where there is a stillness in long dark nights and a longing for Spring. A mixtape accompanies the book project and can be found here.
