Completed during an apprenticeship at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia, Daily Puzzle is an endless crossword puzzle in the form of a 4-way repeat pattern.

With no numbers or clues to provide a supportive framework, each answer in the puzzle can be read only within the context of other answers. Phrases like “two-day shipping,” “eye cream,” and “takeout” exist alongside “codependency,” “DOW futures,” “rapid tests,” and “excessive force.” The work highlights our collective confusion as we navigate a rapidly changing information society—the joyful and tragic, the serious and the frivolous existing alongside one another at all times.
