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. 

Some pairings are literal, such as Joyce Kilmer's famous poem, "Tree,"next to Ola McNeill Davidson's beautiful painting of a tree. Others are more metaphysical and mysterious and ask the visitor to figure out the connection.

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.
