Pattern In Teardrops

"Human beings it seems are pattern searchers, who constantly seek the order and harmony that pattern provides and then use it to make sense of the world" - K.Kraft

Samantha Lain Key sees pattern in everything around her and believes, as this quote suggests, we look for pattern in everyday life whether it exists or not.

Samantha's visual inspiration has been drawn from the Rococo period and natural forms and she has used this stimulation to create her own range of simplified patterns. Through working with paper and metal she has designed a collection or work recreating this pattern in many unique forms.
