Jigsaws are powerfully symbolic and re-presentational of our desire to have a coherent picture of the world and to fit the ‘pieces’ together so as to make sense. An artist whose I work I like very much Anton Nickson has painted a piece that plays on this idea to great effect especially in relation to the theme of ‘menage a trois’.
For me the work is powerfully resonant with ideas of memory and place and reminds me of Roni Horn’s bringing together of the human form, the mind and landscape.
A piece by Nickson that I would love to own is
