A group exhibition that presents new, site-specific and re-visited artworks to engage audiences and provoke a reconsideration of our relationship with pattern.

Human behaviour indicates that we have an innate desire to find regularity and order in what might otherwise be an experience of disorder and chaos. Repetitions, rhythms, sequences, codes and systems assist us to navigate pathways and make sense of the world. While pattern in art is often thought of as decorative and ornamental, this exhibition considers the conceptual nature of pattern and its affinity with art, science, music and movement.
