Melissa Cody’s ‘Dopamine Dream,’ a standout in Luhring Augustine Gallery’s summer group show ‘Patterns,’ offers the pleasure alluded to in its title via vibrant color and complex patterning. Though Cody is a fourth-generation Navajo weaver who works on a traditional loom, she also codes jacquard weavings, allowing her to experiment with additional colors and forms. Traditional Navajo iconography, like the multiple crosses seen here referring to Spider Woman, mixes with a sense of space made more complex by the influence of video games and the digital realm. (On view in Chelsea through Aug 2nd).
