This design was inspired by a glitch I found when I was developing 030 where instead of drawing a single bar from the start of the active area it would start a new bar on every row. This creates waterfalls of colour which gradate across the design. | ||
|
||
With this piece I found it easy to focus on the central clusters of colour rather than line up the outer edge. It was great fun to assemble areas of bars and then figure out how they all fit together. Because of the varying bar sizes some pieces had two different colours of stripes on them which was a handy but subtle indication to help solve the puzzle. |

In this design I made the gap between the bars match the width of a single bar and tweaked the fidelity so there's less change horizontally across the design but lots of vertical layering. I think the mix of one, three, five, and seven-across bars create an interesting overlaying effect and their curved ends subtly compliment the more prominent motif of stripes. | ||
|

I found this puzzle much more difficult to solve than anticipated. It was easy to group the pieces by colour (horizontally) but that didn't match with the easiest way to line up and connect the pieces (vertically). |

Evolving from 032, this design renders the same program with five times the number of layers. As in previous designs each colour is offset half of the width between the bars, which in this case means the colours alternate between the bars and the gaps between them, creating a sort of striped collage of two conflicting patterns. Because the layers are painted on so many times they become almost opaque, revealing swathes of shapes across the design. I love how the build up of different colours create prismatic, multi-tonal vistas. | ||

I thought this jigsaw would be quite boring to solve because it's so reliant on colour rather than also using texture and shape, but the duotone nature of each piece added a really interesting dimension because it wasn't clear which colour to sort by. I was also slowed down by the [contrast effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_effect), it was much harder to compare colours by sight when the other half of the pieces had alternative, contrasting colours. Overall a very pleasurable puzzle to solve despite its linearity. |
