This is a series of cutouts I’ve found around Roncesvalles in the High Park area. I wish I knew who was doing it. I feel like maybe it’s a church, but who knows? It’s a nice change from the neighborhood stench of rotting things (thank God the garbage strike is over now) and the torn up road. Apparently the area will be under construction for a year or two while they lay new sewage pipes and repair the streetcar tracks, but it is obvious that the people who remain here still care about it a great deal, and enjoy laying hidden treasures for us around to see, think, care about. It’s also a nice conceptual series as opposed to the random one-off grafitti. Plus I love cardboard graffiti because it isn’t truly being disrespectful – the damage done to Meryl Streep’s face is totally reversible. However, I want to know about the change in tense, between the solid “I …” and “I’d …” – is that intentional? If anyone knows who’s done this, let us know. We’ll try to get an interview. I admit, I have not yet tried to call the phone numbers. I think it’s a crime the way mobile companies operate their pay as you go plans in Canada – charging you to receive calls and texts. I’d feel empty without my cell phone… Not.
