Puzzles Pieces

on Canvas

18" x 24"

Composed entirely from individual puzzle pieces, Dreaming Girl by Meredith Maher is presented by Artist Replete as a quiet, suspended moment between rest and imagination. A broken girl recreated anew, softened by stillness, her posture suggesting a gentle surrender to thought.

Depending upon where the viewer stands, her gaze shifts and reveals something different, inviting a personal reading of the moment. What initially reads as a painted image slowly reveals itself as hundreds of carefully placed pieces, each carrying its own history while contributing to a unified whole. The work rewards close inspection with depth, texture, and subtle shifts in color and tone.

Created over three months of daily, meticulous labor, Dreaming Girl reflects Maher’s ongoing exploration of memory, time, and reconstruction. Her process mirrors the way experiences accumulate and resurface, pieces of the past reorganized into new meaning in the present. Here, the puzzle pieces become both structure and metaphor, holding together an intimate portrait shaped by patience, intuition, and time.

Meredith Maher is a contemporary artist whose work is meticulously constructed from individual puzzle pieces. Her practice began with a simple yet unresolved question: could an image be created from mismatched pieces? When she discovered no clear precedent, curiosity turned into experimentation, forming a singular visual language shaped in part by ideas that first emerged through dreams.

Each artwork is assembled from hundreds of carefully sourced puzzles, requiring months of searching for precise colors and tones during the process of creation. On average, a single piece can take four to five months to complete. Maher views her work as a reflection on memory and time, exploring how fragments of the past are reconstructed in the present and reshaped into new meaning.
