Three artists come together in a show about patterns at Texas Woman’s University next week.

The artists — Nancy Blum, Barb Bondy and Moira Scott Payne — use different ap­proaches and materials to seek out and reproduce patterns, and the exhibit will reflect how each artist’s work relates to the others.

Blum, who lives in New York City, combines painting, drawing and screen printing in her works. The pieces are suspended from floor to ceiling in a series that spans the length of the gallery wall. Colorful print fields were created under fellowship from the Lower East Side Printshop in New York.

Bondy’s graphite drawings spin out of thoughts on art, philosophy and science. She is an assistant professor of art and exhibits and lectures coordinator at Auburn University in Ala­ba­ma. In her art, she explores how the brain forms an individual’s experience of the world.

Payne uses clothes, magazines, rugs and homes as a springboard to finding patterns. Each painting describes confusion, the complexity of life and seductions of design. Payne is a fine arts researcher at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Scotland.
