About

‘Living Pattern’ presents Contemporary Australian artists who use abstraction as both a formal and a conceptual device for making new and renewed meaning, doing so through patterns, ornamentation and abstract forms that manifest in everyday life and across cultures.

The exhibition explores experimentation and sculptural investigations, performative installations and immersive digital environments.It looks at scientific ideas around perception to spiritual reference points and emotive reactions to colour, shape and form.
