Visual Explorations

Philosophy is often presented as the fundamental interpretative tool, but art can also serve this role. Visual Explorations is the online art showcase of the Global Spiral. Every monthly issue will present a “visual exploration” through painting, sculpture, photography, and images from the sciences, expanding our understanding of foundational questions.

Our showcase is open to submissions. Please include the title of the piece, a short biographical sketch, and a brief description of the artwork (in the case of science images, tell what is being portrayed). Send all submissions to visualexplorations@metanexus.net.

A little Madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King,
But God be with the Clown –
Who ponders this tremendous scene –
This whole Experiment of Green –
As if it were his own!

—Emily Dickinson
