There are over 150 drawings in Slideways-a sideward pushing puzzle streaming time and space in confinement. Three large-scale slider puzzles, this piece is an interactive puzzle composed of 147 5"x5" wood blocks in custom-made frames. Each block is an engraved replica of my stream of consciousness pen and ink drawings. The project is a magnification of the small plastic slider puzzles of the past. The audience can move the detailed pictures to create changing visual stories. The compositions will never complete a predictable image; they are not meant to. The piece reflects on the power of the subconscious and the reality of choice. Gideon Hughes, local artist and carpenter, Pushdot Studio, PLYWERK, and Engrave worked with me to complete this project. Slideways was funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council. Puzzles and tiles for sale. For pricing, contact misssnailpail@gmail.com.
