Yes I still had overlap - trust common sense will prevail with the marking but my view was that thought that the preamble was pointing towards keeping the pairs together
Thanks Karla, excellent puzzle.
We don’t submit, just enjoy the challenge.
What we do have is 3 separate artworks, comprising 2 x 2 elements and 1 x 4 elements. The elements overlap within each artwork. If too explicit, please delete.
The individual elements of my 8 'artworks' are uniform - they look like the 2nd word of the instruction.
I think this is one of the oddest discussions I've ever had regarding Listener endgames (and not one I would have expected}.
I’ve now talked myself into four “artworks,” although I’m not entirely convinced. I think the whole notion of pairing might have a particular thematic meaning. Who knows?
