The Ohio Arts Council's Riffe Gallery presents "Poetics of Pattern" rom July 25 - October 6, 2013.

Curated by Janice Lessman-Moss, a professor at Kent State University, the 13 artists in Poetics of Pattern explore the process of design-making through a variety of scales, media, forms and colors. Through their repetitive processes, we find a language of beauty and meaning that seeks to create order and connection in our increasingly complex lives.

Artists in the show include: Laurie Addis (Kent), Gianna Commito (Kent), Dragana Crnjak (Boardman), Nancy Crow (Baltimore), Kristine Donnelly (Cincinnati), Robert Greyer (Bowling Green), Susan Li O'Connor (Columbus), Danielle Rante (Columbus), Judith Salomon (Shaker Heights), Doug Sanderson (Cleveland Heights), Audra Skuodas (Oberlin), Casey Vogt (Akron), Carly Witmer (Pleasant Hill).
