Hey, you art people
So you guys who went to art school: What's the art theory/psychology behind repeating patterns in art? They've been there forever, so somehow there's a subconscious trigger in the brain to find repetition aesthetically pleasing.
Something like Joseph Cambell's universal myth theory, maybe?
Because we see it so often in nature?
Because it's mathematically sophisticated?
Because it reminds us of the concept of excess, which was a good thing to have in hunter gatherer days?
