Scientists have long known that humans are drawn to patterns. We recognize them as a means of survival and to derive meaning from our surroundings. The basic building blocks of our humanity – our DNA – is a repeating structure that infuses our biology. In this exhibition, patterns are explored by artists in ways that represent our personal, natural, biological, and cultural curiosities. While each artist explores their individual relationship to pattern, all the artists share an intuitive approach and a personal connection they say resonates on a deep level. As Alissa Davies states, “we carry these shapes and patterns around inside of us which we are continually drawn to revisit”. As in nature, forms are ever shifting and state boldly that change is a constant. Disrupting patterns and adopting new definitions can be as useful as creating order. This exhibition presents order and change in relation and both as constants.
