On Thursday, April 30, 2026, CENTER hosted photographer Jon McCormack for an online artist talk, Patterns of Wonder: How Nature and Photography Transform the Mind, presented in conjunction with his exhibition Elements of Wonder: When Nature Becomes Art.
In this recorded conversation, McCormack discussed the ideas behind the exhibition, exploring the relationship between photography, pattern recognition, perception, and the natural world. Through large-scale photographs of landscapes, textures, and naturally occurring patterns, Elements of Wonder examined how moments of awe and visual curiosity can shift the way we experience our environments.
