PATTERN LANGUAGE - PEACOCK FEATHERS

Everybody knows what a peacock is all about, yes? 

A huge fan of feathers in iridescent blue-green colors, a fancy crest atop the head and a shrieking scream are the most important things that make up a peacock.

It seems that peacock feathers are being fashionable this year, so here are few of my favorite picks featuring the peacock feather pattern.

I haven't heard anything about peacock scream becoming fashionable, but just in case,  here is a sample.

PATTERN LANGUAGE - TRIANGLES

Have you ever met a nude descending a staircase?

And how about THE Nude Descending a Staircase? Yes, exactly that one, the very famous piece by Marcel Duchamp. An explosion of triangles, right? Such an amazing painting...

But, here is a good news for you. You don't have to travel to Philadelphia to see some great triangles, you can find them pretty much everywhere. 

Here are a few of my favorite picks having to do with triangles.

PATTERN LANGUAGE - POLKA DOTS

A polka-dot has the form of the sun which is a symbol of the energy of the whole world and our living life and also the form of the moon, which is calm. Round, soft, colorful, senseless and unknowing. Polka-dots become movement... Polka dots are a way to infinity

It's very clever, yes? Do you know who could have been clever enough to figure it out like this?
No, none of the fashion designers.
No actress, no celebrity...
No, Einstein was very (and I mean VERY) clever, but somehow he missed that polka dot thing. Being too busy with his E=mc², possibly.

The quote comes from a Japanese artist being obsessed with polka dots throughout her whole life (she's in her eighties right now, so it's been quite a long while), Yayoi Kusama.
An exhibition of her newest works just finished in Brisbane, you can see that amazing stuff right here.

BTW. In 2008 Christies sold one of Kusama's pieces for $5.1 million which was the record for a living female artist.
