Taking part in the Big City residency at the Banff Center for the Arts in Canada, a new version of City Cookie was produced. As a concept to consume this famous but small touristic town where tourists are more than local folks, cookies in the shape of country houses were made.
Puzzle
On the stainless steel cover of the cookie cutter box was a map of the Banff town. It showed the locations of the houses that cookie cutters referred.
