Artist Replete presents Memory Addict by Meredith Maher, one of the earliest works in the artist’s puzzle-based series, created during a formative period when she was still discovering how to translate image and idea into this meticulous process.

The composition depicts an imagined future and past coexisting within the mind, a landscape shaped not by a single moment, but by accumulated recollections assembled into a personal narrative. From a distance, the image reads as fluid and cohesive; up close, it reveals itself as hundreds of individual pieces held in delicate balance.

Memory Addict reflects Maher’s interest in the compelling nature of memory and its shifting, interpretive quality. As we move through life, experiences are gathered and held without a fixed or universal truth, existing through personal perception.

Each time the past is revisited, it is reshaped in the present moment, influenced by time, emotion, and context. Here, the puzzle pieces function as a visual metaphor for that process, fragments of experience repeatedly reassembled, reminding us that memory is not preserved, but continually remade.

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.
