SUMMARY:CrossCraft Pattern Systems
DESCRIPTION:CrossCraft Pattern Systems is a research-creation project that 
 explores how traditional craft techniques can be transformed into new visua
 l and structural pattern systems in contemporary design. The exhibition pre
 sents a series of tufted rugs\, each displayed alongside a handmade craft r
 eference piece such as a quilt block or a macramé panel. By pairing these 
 objects\, the exhibition shows how the logic within each craft practice can
  be carried across materials and reinterpreted in another form.\n\nAt the c
 ore of the project is the idea that traditional crafts contain their own sy
 stems of repetition\, structure\, and pattern-making. Each rug in the serie
 s draws from the key elements of a specific craft\, abstracting those found
 ations into a bold\, graphic textile. When visitors compare the rug to its 
 reference piece\, they can clearly see how the design grows out of the unde
 rlying craft techniques. This offers an accessible introduction to craft pr
 ocesses and a way to understand how making can serve as a method of inquiry
 .\n\nThis is a collaborative project involving researchers and makers from 
 four academic institutions in Ontario and Alberta. The team includes facult
 y members\, researchers\, and a graduate student\, each with their own craf
 t practice.\n\n*Project lead\, Steven Pong from Carleton University will be
  visiting LCR late October\, offering a Nickle at Noon talk on October 29th
  at 12:00pm in Gallery Hall.\n\nhttps://www.visitcalgary.com/events/crosscr
