Jigsaw

Written and recorded by Sadie and Empress between New Brunswick and Scotland.

Artwork by Ciarán Glöbel. Acrylic on cotton canvas.

"After listening to the song I instantly thought of the allegory of a person as an ever evolving puzzle. Some pieces of which are integral to the persons happiness, other pieces can be swapped out, some of the pieces go missing and might not be found for years, if ever. I don't want the theme to feel too "transactional" but in our interactions with everyone dear to us, we do this kind of swapping of pieces sometimes on a daily basis, romantically & platonically. The painting I made has a playing card feel to it, that it can be read upside or down. I didn't want to specify what side it should be read from as the idea is it's supposed to be equal between 2 sides."
