Stroll Garden is pleased to present Pattern Shift, a solo exhibition of new work by Lesley Kice Nishigawara. Featuring textiles and works on paper, the exhibition follows Nishigawara’s use of the grid as a generative structure—expanded and reimagined through weaving, drawing, and collage. At the core of Nishigawara’s practice are handwoven works created on a loom, in which imagery emerges through layered weave structures, pigment applied during the weaving process, and the piecing together of woven segments. Each piece evolves through subtle deviations from pattern, reflecting the unpredictability and natural slippages inherent in daily life. As the artist notes, “Patterns create an infrastructure for my work to unfold… The balance between control and acceptance mirrors the unpredictability and fluidity inherent in daily life.” For this exhibition, Nishigawara presents a body of new works that expand upon her long- standing interest in repetition and transformation. Large-scale woven grids are paired with smaller paper-based experiments—drawings that are woven, punched, folded, and stitched—forming a dialogue between materials and processes. Thread trimmed from the ends of a weaving is sewn over watercolor and gouache, while punched paper from one drawing becomes the basis for another. These works illuminate the cyclical nature of Nishigawara’s practice, in which every mark, thread, or gesture carries forward into something new. Together, the works on view reveal Nishigawara’s sustained inquiry into the ways patterns evolve, fracture, and recombine, offering a meditation on order, disruption, and the beauty of imperfection. Lesley Kice Nishigawara: Pattern Shift will be on view at Stroll Garden’s Beverly Boulevard location (7380 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90036) from October 11–November 15, 2025.
