Jon McCormack — Patterns: Art of the Natural World

Jon McCormack — Patterns: Art of the Natural World

A photographic survey of pattern in the natural world, made by Jon McCormack across a wide arc of landscape — the volcanic coasts of Iceland, the rainforests of British Columbia, the icy fjords of Antarctica, the wildlife corridors of Kenya and Botswana, the ice caves of Svalbard. The book treats animal markings, geological formations, botanical structure and atmospheric phenomena as a single field of visual rhyme.

Short essays by explorers and scientists run alongside the plates, opening the photography out into broader thinking about ecology and form. Hardcover. Pre-order; published April 2026.
