Constructed Landscapes: Brick, Tile and Pillar is on view at Blue Line Arts, Roseville, CA

February 11 – March 26, 2022

A concurrent exhibition with NCECA 2022

This exhibition explores the interface between nature and culture through the liminal space of architecture. Through the modules of the brick, tile, and pillar, the artworks in this show explore architectural ornamentation influenced by natural forms and patterns, through mimicry and reproduction, as well as translation and re-adaptation. These characteristics are relevant to Michael Hann’s theory of diffusion, adoption, and adaptation, as outlined in his book, Symbol, Pattern & Symmetry. Originally applied to the evolution of cultural pattern motifs, it has been applied to this exhibition by relating diffusion to the acquisition of the natural object; adoption, a direct copy of its form; and adaptation, taking the form and abstracting it.

Plant-based or nature-based design, is apparent in the included works. The depictions of the arabesque, the mandala, and plant foliage show an underlying system of geometry and symmetry, which stem from the natural world.

The artists in this exhibition use digital processes to abstract architectural ornament by editing, selecting, and modifying images and forms. Through doing this, process and design act as a vehicle to convey authorship as well as individual and collective experiences.

Featured artists: Eliza Au, Audrey Ann, Grace Nickel, Sarah Heitmeyer
Curated by Eliza Au
