Scotney Castle: 500 Lies
(jigsaw puzzle pieces)
Jigsaw puzzles are useful to me: I have a healthy interest in boredom. And c. shops are full of jigsaws.
There’s nothing more to this at the moment, just playing around. No concept, no reason. So I’m leaving it at that.
Oh, it’s 500 Lies because there were only 443 pieces.
One technical issue though, originally I wanted to fix all 500 pieces together on top of each other with glue. I started but inevitably gravity won’t hold up a wobbly tower of tiny bits of cardboard. Next puzzle tower will have to be drilled through if if it’s going to stand.
Playing around with a piece of work or idea can be useful in itself, it’s almost a means to an end. Really it’s about making something without thinking about it – employing intuition maybe?
It doesn’t have to do or be anything. But I know that this approach can only go so far, at some point a conceptual thought process is required to move it along.
