Patterns, patterns, patterns

 One man's trash
Found on the smoking balcony of Knowlton.
I'm a big fan of purple and yellow and I like this because it's so unintentional. Found a few days ago.

 Op art 1
My girlfriend's researching optical art and I found this one while snooping through one of her books. Trippy
Found this weekend.

 Op art 2
Same book, opposite page. I like the color combination on this one. Also found this weekend.

 Grimy, but kinda cool
I like stuff like this, cause you wouldn't normally notice it. Something about it isn't really what I'd expect an air vent to look like. Found at a friend's house last week.
 My friends rent from Wes Anderson
Wallpaper I found at my friends' house. It makes me feel like one of the Royal Tenenbaums. Found last weekend.
2's and 4's
Installation piece at Knowlton. I like the use of rectilinear pieces to make a curved surface. Found yesterday. 
Elephants in the room
Simple pattern, but again, I like purple. I also like elephants. Found a couple of years ago at Import House.
 Memphis 1
We stopped in Memphis last spring on the way to a music festival in Mexico and saw these installation pieces on display. I love recycled art and this was made of street signs. Found last March
Memphis 2
Again, recycled art is cool. In this one you can see how the pattern is just the shapes, but what's inside each one is different. Found last March.
French accent in the kitchen
I like this one because it's kind of a pattern within a pattern. Each tile is completely symmetrical and they're repeated across the wall. Found last year.
