Puzzled2021, 158 x 100 cm

I had a 1000-piece puz­zle made from one of my doo­dle draw­ings (see first de­tail pho­to). What on the draw­ing were still clear­ly dif­fer­ent ar­eas, sur­faces and lines, be­came 1000 parts, which all looked more or less the same! Af­ter sev­er­al hours of try­ing and tin­ker­ing I had to ad­mit that the puz­zle could sim­ply not be done (de­tail pho­to 2).

But just throw it away? No! Make a piece out of it, which takes up the play­ful­ness of the puz­zle: the re­sult is Puz­zled, con­sist­ing of the 1000 puz­zle pieces, each sewn on a piece of Vel­cro (de­tail pho­to 3), which makes it pos­si­ble to as­sem­ble the work, play­ful­ly, again and again (de­tail pho­tos 4 and 5) - what al­so, just like the puz­zle, re­quires some pa­tience!
