| Kevin Quiles Bonilla
Bonilla incorporates video, photography, installation, sculpture, and performance with archival research, both through the Library of Congress and his own familial history. His process explores “colonization through photography” while “unearthing the construction of an identity and a historic heritage.” |

| Jacob Cullers
Cullers combines found images with various materials to create layered paintings. Experience as an Air Force veteran informs his choice of events, materials, and images that include perpetrators of high profile violence. "There is a hyper sense of awareness when you’re in a hostile situation over a period of time. You bring this back and carry it with you after going to 'war'.” |

PATTERN
An International Call for Works Exploring Pattern Whether by chance or design, natural or human-made, organic or geometric, a pattern is a motif repeated in such a way as to take on a predictable cumulative visual effect. Visual artists, designers, and craftspeople throughout history have embraced pattern as a device both for its utility and its visual impact. Manifest is curious how this is happening in the art of today, whether directly (works largely about and made by pattern) or indirectly (works featuring pattern as a primary element, image, or form supporting other content). With this in mind we offer this call to artists for works that address or feature pattern as a primary, but not necessarily exclusive, element. All manner of interpretations and explorations involving the concept or examples of pattern are welcome, including traditional and non-traditional approaches in any media. Submission deadline: May 5, 2021
For complete details and to apply online visit: http://www.manifestgallery.org/pattern email info@manifestgallery.org with any questions
