Annotations & Selected Quotes

“To be a participant in a complex system is to desire to be both lost and found in the interrelationships between people, nature, and ideas.” (Nora Bateson, Small Arcs of Larger Circles, 16) 

“Art and Nature share the genius of contextualizing multiple levels of relatedness and communication at the same time and across time...the meaning that is found in the visual metaphor today can, and will, change in ten minutes- and in a hundred years.” (Nora Bateson, Small Arcs of Larger Circles, 16)
