Jigsaw Concertina


Cindy Tonkin - August 27, 2017

Years ago I picked up this jigsaw in the street near my house in Newtown on one of my morning walks.

I attached pieces of an ink drawing to the front, but then got stuck. they were so agreeable as just pieces.

Finally i have turned some of them (I believe I have more somewhere) into a concertina. Still working on it.

Started out painting the paper that attached them with a prussian blue, then added some umber (semi-transparent, which has a not very pleasing look to it). So i imagine there is more to come.

Each jigsaw piece is about 8cm square (if a jigsaw piece can be thought of as square).

Here are the pictures in chronological order.
