Puzzle Drawing . 50" x 38" . Ink on Archival Paper . 2006
Ever since I can remember, I’ve doodled puzzle pieces…
Finally it all came together after a wonderful summers’ day in Maine, while attending the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. As a group, we attended a hot and sandy anarchist parade in the woods of Maine on July 4th. We returned to our lake-side retreat and had a beautiful dinner. I spent that night in the studio, and drew a puzzle in it’s entirety, all in one sitting. And I haven’t looked back! It’s been over 15 years, and I’m still using those themes in my work today.
I created 5 large ink drawings (50" x 38") of jigsaw puzzles - they illustrate the limitations of finite space, and of my body in creating such large works. These are really special works, and I would like to keep three for myself, but open to selling two of the series.
