Hillestad Gallery show features repeated patterns

"Repeat After Me," an exhibition of hand-painted as well as digitally-developed and printed repeat patterns for textiles opens April 18 in the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery in the Department of Textiles, Clothing and Design. This installation of dozens of imaginative and experimental designs is the culmination of a semester's work by undergraduate and graduate students in professor Michael James' course "Advanced Textile and Apparel Design."


This pattern, by senior Sarah Trausch, is one of many on display at the Hillestad Gallery.

In developing their patterns, students explored both historical and contemporary approaches to printed textile design.

The Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays, and is located on the second level of the Home Economics building on East Campus. A free reception will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. April 22 in the gallery.
