Personal PaintingRachel C. Hayes
I would like to further investigate my interest in women’s work, patterns and visual storytelling in a painting that utilizes a specific color scheme and direct painting approach. My painting will synthesize various patterns and colors as I create layers to tell a story about anxiety and lack of control.
Traditional women’s work of sewing & quiltingI am interested in the communal activity of quilting, as well as the
use and description of particular patterns and motifs.
Pattern Designs & Motifs
Quilts of Gee’s Bend
Patterns gone awry…
• Predictability to unpredictability
• Order to chaos
• Calm to anxiety
Jacob HashimotoI am inspired by his bold use of pattern and color, as well as
his use of non-traditional surfaces and formats.

Barry McGee
“McGee’s paintings and drawings incorporate elegantly draughted elements of figurative linework and repetitive tessellations of geometric, abstract patterns which synthesise found and invented source material. In both formal and informal contexts, bold combinations of colour, shape and knowledgably crafted graphic elements sit against and beside one another, alive with energy and empathy. His pictorial sense touches on the global reach of unsanctioned art that takes place within the fabric of urban architecture, but equally on Hispanic and Latin-American decorative arts, and functional graphics sourced from the post-consumer world. Hundreds of uniquely painted panels and objects can be fitted together, butted against one another in an immersive, site-responsive hang that results from McGee’s openly intuitive working method.”
