This document provides information and resources for a personal painting project. It includes references to traditional women's work like quilting, pattern designs and motifs, and the Quilts of Gee's Bend. It also mentions artists like Jacob Hashimoto, Beatriz Milhazes, and Barry McGee who incorporate patterns and geometric shapes in their work.

9. “McGee’s paintings and drawings incorporate elegantly
draughted elements of figurative linework and repetitive
tessellations of geometric, abstract patterns which
synthesise found and invented source material. In both
formal and informal contexts, bold combinations of
colour, shape and knowledgably crafted graphic
elements sit against and beside one another, alive with
energy and empathy. His pictorial sense touches on the
global reach of unsanctioned art that takes place within
the fabric of urban architecture, but equally on Hispanic
and Latin-American decorative arts, and functional
graphics sourced from the post-consumer world.
Hundreds of uniquely painted panels and objects can
be fitted together, butted against one another in an
immersive, site-responsive hang that results from
McGee’s openly intuitive working method.”
