In "No Pattern Necessary," a variety of women's heads are scattered across a pink, slightly shimmering dress pattern, emphasizing its feminine affiliation.  Because this work is a print and uses found imagery, the ideas of conformity and pattern are fostered by the possibility of duplication. However, no two heads are exactly identical. They vary in scale, clarity, facial features, direction of gaze, and hairstyle. The bold lines of the dress pattern symbolically underscore strict societal boundaries yet also multiply and expand them, as if to suggest one size does not (or need not) fit all. 

Overall, Mack uses her work to examine societal expectations of identity and offers a range of responses. This goal is evident in this piece as the viewer initially perceives an array of similar faces, only to later notice the subtle differences that define each one. The pink dress pattern highlights this quest for individual identity in contemporary society.
