Since 2007 the people at Wayward Arts have asked some of the more prominent design studios in Canada to create an issue of this quarterly magazine that responds to a theme. Our theme was Obsession. The hole drilled through the centre is an arbitrary physical element that ties the book together as a whole (hole?). We invited writers, illustrators, photographers and in-house designers to contend with the hole while responding to the obsession theme in any way they wished.
