• Summary:PatternPattern by Barbara Hodgson and Claudia Cohen "adds another branch to their ongoing adventures in decoration, materials and processes previously explored in the four-part color series as well as Cutting Paper (2013), Decorating Paper (2015), and Folding Paper (2017). PatternPattern focuses on traditional and modern systems of analyzing repeating decorative patterns. These systems--grid, proportion, tessellation, symmetry, motif, and style & culture--are each discussed in a brief overview, and extensively illustrated, primarily with examples hand-drawn by the authors in each copy. Each section starts with a drawing done on translucent drafting vellum, to overlay the accompanying text. The focus throughout is on design development, progression, and variety, emphasizing the possibilities for infinite interpretations of basic styles" -- Information from dealer website Books Tell You Why

  "Our goal with PatternPattern is to analyze and illustrate various systems that have been devised throughout time to bring order to patterns: how they are created, applied, studied, and categorized....Pattern is defined here as the regular repetition of a motif (or element) in two dimensions over an infinite surface or plane"--Introduction, pages 8-9.
  "This book was designed & composed in Monotype Fournier by Barbara Hodgson. Hand-drawn patterns from imagination and from a variety of sources were executed by Barbara Hodgson & Claudia Cohen. It was printed by Rollin Milroy with the HM handpress on dampened Arches paper. Claudia Cohen bound each copy in her Seattle studio. The edition is 30 numbered, of which the first 10 are supplemented with added material, and six h.c. copies, all signed by the two authors."--Colophon
