Light refreshments will be served, and the public is invited to attend.<\/p>\n At 6:15 Campbell will speak about the project and how it has evolved since he began in 1994.<\/p>\n All the puzzle groupings express the interconnectedness of the natural world.\u00a0 Each individual piece is \u201cinherently part of something larger than itself,\u201d says Campbell, speaking about the idea that has driven his art for decades.\u00a0 \u201cAs it grows, pieces and groups of pieces are separated and treated as individual works of art.\u201d\u00a0 These groups will be hung and for sale in the Gordy gallery.\u00a0 Those who own a piece of the Puzzle Project will forever have a place in the larger composition.<\/p>\n \u201cWorks of art are often referred to as \u2018pieces of art,\u2019\u201d says Gordy owner Carl Schafer.\u00a0 \u201cFor Kevin Campbell, this is literally true.\u00a0 He is making only one work of art that has many pieces.\u00a0Campbell has placed no boundaries on his single work of art.\u00a0 It can continue forever and each piece will always have its place.\u201d<\/p>\n The exhibit will be on view with works for sale in the gallery through March 28, 2026.<\/p>\n Gordy Fine Art and Framing Company promotes talented artists, provides appraisals, enlarges and digitally restores photographs restores antique frames, and offers expert design and craftsmanship for framing and displaying treasured family possessions and works of art.

After graduating from Ball State University and spending more than seventeen years in graphic design, I bring both practiced skill and intuitive listening to each piece.
