Pattern/Pleat is a continuation of Al Munro's investigation into patterns, folding and the relationship of abstract painting to textile design. Through the inclusion of folds or pleats in the artwork's physical structure, Munro activates the spatial experience of the painted surface. As one shifts around each work, areas of pattern are either revealed or hidden, enabling the co-existence of different forms based on the alignment of the viewer.
