“ What underlies great science is what seven types of bottle caps
underlies great art, whether it is visual

or written, and that is the ability to
distinguish patterns out of chaos.”

– Diana Gabaldon, author of Outlander

At Paradise City, artists and makers of all stripes continue to enchant Linda Jacque
Jazz Lazy Susan
us with their pattern play. Handmade textile and clothing designers turn Painted wood
useful coats and scarves into fashion extravaganzas with the clever use
of repeating designs. Jewelers transfix us with gold, silver, and precious
stones placed in delicate, rhythmic arrangements. Painters, photographers,
ceramicists, woodworkers, glass blowers, and all manner of metalsmiths use
patterns to create works of art that let us lose ourselves in their intricacy.

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of getting lost in
the maze of a pattern, Paradise City’s themed
“Pattern Play!” exhibit at our fall shows is a
must see. Discover the mysterious power of
patterns to communicate ideas, create new
connections, and spin a web that draws
you deep into the artist’s imagination.
