HRM (postage stamp, 2010)
HRM is the reworked image of Her Royal Majesty, found on current Canada Post stamps. The image was projected and drawn on a grid of white cards, which were then sent out to 77 residents of the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) with instructions to “connect the lines” on their puzzle piece and return it to me. IT was then reassembled, photographed, and made into a new stamp.
