Toys > A Jigsaw Jigsaw
December 7th, 2021
I’m not convinced that jigsaws are good gifts. A jigsaw seems like something that’s better when borrowed, rather than owned. I can’t imagine they have a lot of repeat value.
And this won’t click with everyone: a jigsaw fan friend of mine says she hates ones with repetitive patterns, gradients, or solid colours. She uses jigsaws as a way to spend time immersed in artwork, studying the details rather than just looking at the whole. “You’d have to pay me to do this one,” she said.
But if you can overcome these hurdles, this jigsaw jigsaw is pleasingly recursive and made by independent artist/activist Daren Cullen. You could also pick up a nice corporate manslaughter T-shirt/tote bag/badge, some museum of neoliberalism merch, or a sticker to make your transit card look fake.
