About the Work: 
"Pattern Recognition" transforms planters, light poles, and the sidewalk along the College Promenade into a kaleidoscope of colour. Patterned elements and circular decals reminiscent of rugs serve as a nice reminder that we are no longer confined to our homes. By bringing something that evokes the home into public space, Kirsten celebrates our first steps back into public life and towards a return to normalcy.

Artist Statement:
"My art practice is multi-disciplinary, but revolves around a central goal: to produce work that is well-crafted, visually appealing, and meaningful. I truly believe that art is for everyone, and utilize color and pattern to evoke feelings of joy, curiosity, and belonging.
Inspired by textiles, my detailed artworks showcase our universal human love of decoration. I create large-scale public artworks that provide an energizing boost of colour in urban settings through ornamentation and patterning. I strive to provide a WOW moment, whether it’s through pop-y colors, fun compositions, or sheer scale." - Hello Kirsten
