Opening Reception: Maya Erdelyi's Pattern Language

In Pattern Language, Erdelyi investigates the visceral and kinetic vernacular of pattern, color, repetition, and gestural relationships. Circles, spirals, triangles and orbits join interweaving layers of colors symbolizing cycles, conversations, movement and sound.

Erdelyi pushes the boundaries of paper and textiles and plays with notions of geometry evident in quilts and geodesic domes – she connects the dots, creating new paths and patterns. Using a wide array of mediums including collage, printmaking and drawing, Erdelyi cuts, burns, twists, sews and pins material to create a 3D-collage space where interlocking shapes, lines and shadows play, clash, and activate each other.
