Artwork Appreciation
In her Puzzle series, TSAI Ming-Jiun takes the idea of the “missing piece” as fuel for her creative work.
This ten-component work, titled Puzzle III - This is A..., is the third in the series. When we see a puzzle with missing pieces, our brains often fill in the missing information. Picking up on various clues, we unconsciously piece together a possible pattern.
This work echoes Tsai’s Puzzle II. Using the distinctive patterns of animal fur, Tsai designs a visual system based on the traditional jigsaw puzzle, and then places the puzzle pieces in rows.
