This from Kate Holden….
Artist Helen Yung just sent me some info to add to the blog mostly around symmetry….
She’s been experimenting with Ink blots (above) and hexaflexagons… they have the potential to animate each other in amazing ways. The symmetrical becoming asymmetrical and then finding it’s way back to symmetry at some point. If that’s confusing, don’t worry – it will become clear when you can hold it in your hands at the show.
and this iphone app ties in as well: echoism.org
It’s an app and an art project, it’s content generated by it’s users. This is the description from the website:
“Echoism” plays with the notion of your own identity. What do you look like? What are the things that make you look like you – your identifying features?

Introduction
In Western culture, household pets are frequently given human characteristics. We see them as individuals with their own unique personalities, like friends or family members.
