Pattern
Whether by chance or design, natural or human-made, organic or geometric, a pattern is a motif repeated in such a way as to take on a predictable cumulative visual effect. Visual artists, designers, and craftspeople throughout history have embraced pattern as a device both for its utility and its visual impact. We were curious how this is happening in the art of today, whether directly (works largely about and made by pattern) or indirectly (works featuring pattern as a primary element, image, or form supporting other content).
With this in mind we called to artists for works that address or feature pattern as a primary, but not necessarily exclusive, element.
For this exhibit 117 artists submitted 479 works from 36 states and 3 countries, Canada, Guatemala, and the United States. Fourteen works by the following 12 artists from 10 states were selected by a blind jury process for presentation in the gallery and the Manifest Exhibition Annual publication.
