'Step, Repeat'

Pattern—an artistic, musical, literary, or mechanical repeating design or form—has been employed as an embellishment throughout the history of civilization, but it has achieved its own power and meaning in modern and postmodern art. No longer dismissed as ornament or ‘women’s work’, pattern can be abstracted, magnified, made into subject, or it can make a subversive statement in the hands of a contemporary artist.

This call invited artists to submit works that use a repeated pattern as an intentional, essential element. All mediums were considered, previously exhibited works were not be accepted.
