The project was about "obliterating an object" but not to destroy it. Instead, it aimed to explore the stories that the chosen object can reveal.
I've selected a vintage Saskatchewan patch (image 1) from the 1960s-70s that I found at a thrift store. The patch was part of a tourism campaign by Government of Saskatchewan to invite people to visit the province and join in the Winter Games.
For my obliteration I chose to examine each of the four elements of the patch: the prairie lily, the "Homecoming '71" text, the wheat sheaves, and the shield of arms. As the final product I produced printed literature.
