A multidisciplinary study of pattern and chaos.

This book explores critical and visual practices through the lens of interactions and intersections between pattern and chaos. The interrelationship between pattern and chaos challenges disciplinary boundaries, critical frameworks, and modes of understanding, perception, and communication. Drawing on fields such as visual culture, sociology, physics, neurobiology, linguistics, and critical theory, contributors to this volume explore the results of experiments with pattern and chaos–related forms, processes, materials, sounds, and language. The result is a bracing, wide-ranging examination of a central dynamic in the making and understanding of art.

Victoria Mitchell is Research Fellow at Norwich University of the Arts. She has published papers on various aspects of art, design and textile culture, pursuing an interdisciplinary theoretical approach which focuses on material, making, metaphor and meaning, and is co-editor of The Material Culture of Basketry (Bloomsbury, 2020), for which she wrote on pattern in the context of braiding and dancing. Dr Sarah Horton is an artist-researcher whose practice includes sculpture, drawing and painting often resulting in site-specific artwork. Her doctorate ‘Decoration: Disrupting the workplace and challenging the work of art’ indicates an ongoing interest in the way pattern, decoration and ornament is used in fine art and in a wider sense to indicate value and identity.
