patterns have relied on unity of form—repetitions of unit forms or super-
units, in consistent or gradually changing intervals, arranged in a
variety of compositional structures. We explored how color contrast
can be integrated with the pattern forms to achieve dynamic effects.
In this experiment, we look first at a different kind of pattern, ...
