BENEATH THE SURFACE is curated by surface design studio, Pattern People, and highlights the work of influential, contemporary surface designers through the mediums of wallpaper, prints, and 3-dimensional objects. The work presented demonstrates how patterns can give dimension to an otherwise flat surface and create a world that pulls in the viewer. Focusing on escapist and fantastical themes, the exhibit features utopian landscapes, folkloric fables, and interpretations of magical inner journeys. The exhibit includes designers from the U.S, Japan, Finland, Germany, Sweden, and the U.K:

Anna Giertz, Chelsea Heffner, Dan Funderburgh, Deanne Cheuk, Eno Henze, George Moskal, Joanna Bean, Jo Hamilton, Katrin Wiens, Kinpro, Kustaa Saksi, Laundry Studio, Linn Olofsdotter, Marc Curtis, Michael Leon, Mike Perry, Nama Rococo, Osmose, Pattern People, & Timorous Beasties

With a very short deadline a number of international artists and photographers were asked to act and respond. Look around your  environment, see what you can save, pickit up, turn it over, and look  at it in a
different way. We make waste for a living. So no we're gonna make waste live.

In honor of Mother Earth this ezine was created.
