Jigsaw Puzzle -randomness by Stephen Way

Features

ARTIST NOTES: This work is the third in a series drawn on OSB : Oriented Strand Board. It is a large work that took a full fortnight to complete. Flake patterns within the OSB are Random. Whilst doing the drawing I was wondering what it would finally look like. Basically i was not overly satisfied. It needed something more. I wrote probability and statistics formulae in. By pure chance I came across an article about Jigsaws Puzzles and how they were all made originally from timber.
The 50 pieces (10x5) suited the size and to my mind have drawn the whole work together.

ARTIST BIO

Steve lives in Bondi with the beautiful Karen and has 2 grown children. He is a qualified  Physiotherapist and has a wide range of clinical experience. Mid career, Steve took up life drawing (thinking that knowing anatomy would help)..it did to some extent, however Steve learned that LD is 'the foundation of art'. He decided to further pursue art and considers himself very fortunate to attend the NAS in 'Darlo' ( '93,4,5) Three years well spent!

In that final year Steve's proposal for a 2m square painting for a major redevelopment project in Darling Harbour was selected in open competition ($5k prize) among fellow students. During the process Steve was asked to do a second work, a photo of which appeared in the Telegraph. The commissions were a major surprise and stimulus for him to continue with his endeavours.

Steve did continue for a short while but family and work commitments prevailed. He states,'no regrets there'

Now there is time, and Stephen is slowly getting back to doing what he does best,creative work. His best is sure to come.
