The concept of pattern in the arts provides artists with tools that can limit creativity or suggest new avenues for exploration. They can offer a maker innovative options to explore with their accustomed materials and techniques; at times present a designer a means of control; advance a range of new ornaments and motifs to work with; and impart a new understanding of the relation between functional and decorative form. This exhibition will look at the impact of pattern in the arts using the University Art Galleries collections. 

Austin-based artist Shawn Smith merges nature and technology in his two- and three-dimensional work featuring life-size animals, insects and abstract self-portraits, exploring "how humans use data as a lens for looking at the anthropocene, species loss and habitat destruction." On view at Wright Gallery, Langford A, Room 212, from Sept. 16-Oct. 24. Artist talk: Sept. 26, 4-5 p.m.; reception from 5-6 p.m.
