O.H.M.S, Triptych 0720 by Lesley Luce explores Canada’s evolving identity through the imagery and symbolism of its postage stamps. Presented as a triptych, the work assembles a visual archive of how Canada has represented itself across generations, with the title referencing the O.H.M.S. overprint found on the central stamps, used to designate official government correspondence during the mid-20th century. From a distance, the composition appears as a bold geometric pattern. Up close, its intricate details reveal layers of symbols and references, from early pre-Confederation stamps to images of governance, communication, and national identity, forming a portrait of the systems and structures that have shaped the country over time.
