"The idea came from enjoying the subtle differences in the blue of a sky in a particularly brutal jigsaw puzzle. Without an image to help locate a piece I was relying only on an intuitive sense of colour, and this was much more satisfying.
Unlike ordinary puzzles where you are redrawing a specific picture from a reference, you have a strange sense of where every piece belongs compared to every other. There is a real logic in the doing that is weirdly soothing, therapeutic, it must be the German coming out in me. As each piece clicks perfectly into place, just so, it's a little win. Like a little pat on the back."
