Pattern Logic

Scottish Borders

in progress


An ongoing investigation into how patterns move from surfaces into bodies.



Pattern Logic began while living in the Scottish Borders. I was surrounded by tartans, woven fabrics, uniforms, rural landscapes, and repeated visual structures. At first I was interested in textiles. Gradually the question shifted.

 

What happens when a pattern leaves the fabric and enters the body?

 


Research Notebook

The notebook is where questions appear before artworks.

Selected pages:

 

When does repetition become regulation?

Can belonging be worn?

Where does the pattern end and the body begin?

What changes when a pattern moves from surface to behaviour?

What becomes visible when one body fails to match?

The body doesn't disappear.

It becomes readable through pattern.

It reshapes identity.

The pattern doesn't hide the body.

It decides where looking can begin.

Some bodies follow the pattern.

Others learn its edges.
