Summary:

"The book is not an exhibition catalogue per se, though it coincided with Vera Frenkel: Ways of Telling presented at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (MOCCA), Toronto, from 15 November-28 December 2014 ... Neither is Points of Departure a monograph as such. ... Rather, Points of Departure is a compilation of "words and works" by this talented artist for whom words, coupled with her varied uses of visual and aural media, inform the very core of the work."--Page 6.
