“Scientists have long known that humans are drawn to patterns. We recognize them as a means of survival and to derive meaning from our surroundings. The basic building blocks of our humanity – our DNA – is a repeating structure that infuses our biology. In this exhibition, patterns are explored by artists in ways that represent our personal, natural, biological, and cultural curiosities. While each artist explores their individual relationship to pattern, all the artists share an intuitive approach and a personal connection they say resonates on a deep level.” – Sarah Roy, Curator, Red Brick Center for the Arts

“Blue sky like a blanket, shaking out the dust I’m looking for some green against the rust – Ayee-oooo” 
– San Luis Valley Song, Annie Hills

“It’s said the song on long dusty stretches of the desert helped to ease pain and suffering. Songs were a practical tool — a means to quiet the cows and quiet the mind so neither would go wandering too far. 

This is a show of frontier creators, each using a unique style to interpret the trail songs found along their own road west.” – Max Kauffman, Curator, neü folk
