LOOK: Tropical Tessellations February 16 – March 24, 2019 Daily 10 a.m. – 4 p.m What is an arrangement of shapes or forms in a repeated pattern without gaps that do not overlap? Tessellations are found in everyday objects like quilts, soccer balls, a tile floor, pinwheel toys, and can be seen when you LOOK through a kaleidoscope. These complex patterns also occur in nature: honeycombs, snake skins, and dragonfly wings are all tessellations. By LOOKing through a microscope, tessellations can also be found in a plant’s vascular structure, the tissues that conduct water, sap, and nutrients. LOOK: Tropical Tessellations, a special exhibit in Olbrich’s tropical Bolz Conservatory, features art installations displaying both human-made and natural tessellations created by local artists Peter Krsko and Robert Anderson.

For more information, including hours and tickets, visit olbrich.org.

He will discuss his working methods, as well as the sources of and inspirations for his work, during a stroll through the Bolz Conservatory exhibit.
