Puzzles: The Puzzle series was started in 2009 and is still active. After constructing pieces for the By Manufacturer series, I found myself with a collection of scrap wood. I started building smaller structures with the scraps and arranging them together in multiple sections. Breaking out of the rectangle and square for a surface to paint on, the Puzzles are multi-dimensional and can be flipped and rearranged. The wood grain is juxtaposed against color fields and pin stripes that are taken from various sources within industrial design and luxury fashion. (Synthetic vs Nature)
