Lately, my eyes have been drawn towards art that has repetition and pattern. My professor introduced me to a brilliant artist named Do-Ho Suh (pronounced Doh, Hoh, Suh), who uses lots of repetition to create these amazing sculptures. His art often takes on the space that his pieces take up, dealing with the space between the viewer and the piece itself. A few examples are one of his best known sculptures, "Some/One". The sculpture itself, made of numerous dog tags, focuses on the personal space versus space of the piece alone, but what caught my eyes were the beauty of the repetition, the pattern created by the material, almost unwillingly.

Do-Ho Suh uses numerous types of materials to create his sculptures, I think that is another thing that captures my eye. I am constantly trying to find different materials so that I can try them in patterns and repetitious designs to see how they look. Here are some of the "other" material categories:

So as you can see, this artist has made quite a few great pieces of work dealing with repetition, and its not even his main focus. Even better, this is only part of his full body of work, and they get even more enticing.
