This is based on the idea of how things fit together in our lives, the puzzle that is made up of the questions we ask about our existence on a non-material level, and how we spend our lives trying to bring all the various pieces together.  The individual is the sum total, so there is a very abstracted figure here, joyfully dancing among and creating the pieces.

In many ways this was a transitional work moving toward the spirituality series. Pieces of the Puzzle doesn’t immediately resemble the rest in that series.  First the working approach here was spontaneous, intuitive while the spirituality series was visualized ahead of time. Plus this work was originally created in pastel on paper while the spirituality series consists of paintings, and many are much darker. However, the spirituality series works are concerned with the questions of human existence so there is a similarity in content.
