Colors, patterns, light, and shadow combine at MoBot's "The Art of Hybycozo"
"Patterns in Nature: The Art of Hybycozo" is a new exhibition at the Missouri Botanical Garden made of 21 large geometric forms with intricate patterns in their surfaces. By day, they are mathematically precise forms. At night, they create dazzling patterns of soft shadows. The works are created by Yelena Filipchuk and Serge Beaulieu through their collaborative studio, named Hybycozo. You can see them聽through Sept. 26.
