The Priest of the Puzzle

The Priest of the Puzzle includes a cut text segment.
The words say:
"In different ways - the priest of the puzzle grew from within, travelling like a mist, sleeping in the shape of great windblown branches or the broken edge of spider-clad stones."

This piece was included in the "Absurdity" group show at the Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, 2023.

The Priest of the puzzle has no eyes, and a star at their solar plexus, and a small purple flower pinned to their jacket. There are small humorous doodles hiding in the hair. You can see the hint of a face peeping through the haze of the white paint to the left of the character. (Our left)
