Echoes: Repeating Patterns by Andrea Baumert Howard

THIS EXHIBITION OCCURRED IN THE PAST

Repeating patterns dominate the organic environment. The designs found in nature are often echoed when decorating or building human habitats.

Duplicated imagery is a practice used throughout history and across cultures.

When doing research for her botanical drawings, local artist Andrea Baumert Howard was intrigued by the way pieces linked together, were overlayed, modified and repeated. The work in this exhibition explores repeated patterns both in nature and as adapted for use in architecture.
