Prospectus:
Pattern and repetitive process go hand-in-hand. An entire practice may be made of similar gestures; each mark, movement or sound informing the next. Maps and systems are connected by similar shapes and textures; patterned artworks are created through a meditative, repeated process. Each individual cell, used repetitively—iterated—can can be just as fascinating as the sum. Seeking work of all 2D, 3D and time-based media that employs pattern through an iterative process. Open to US residents. See below for size restrictions and further details.
About the Guest Jurors:

Nathalie Miebach‘s work focuses on the intersection of art and science and the visual articulation of scientific observations. Using the methodologies and processes of both disciplines, she translates scientific data related to astronomy, ecology and meteorology into woven sculptures. In a new body of 2D works, Miebach maps sounds with collage. Represented by Miller Yezerski Gallery in Boston, MA, Miebach also shows extensively nation-wide. Current and upcoming exhibition highlights include the Akron Art Museum (OH), Bakalar & Paine Gallery (MA), and the Children’s Museum of New York City. Miebach is a Global TED Talk speaker, and most recently was featured by CNN. Miebach holds a BA in Political Science from Oberlin College, OH, and both a Master of Art Education and MFA from Massachusetts College of Art, MA. She is a recipient of the Virginia A Groot Foundation Award, and was the IAPP Artist in Residence at the Global Privacy Summit in Washington DC in 2016.
