BOILING AND DIVINE
|
|
“How does Nature learn to give and to receive? Metals give and plants receive. The stars give and flowers receive. The sky gives and the earth receives. Thunder yields flashing fire. All things are interwoven and unravel. All things mingle and fuse. All things mingle and disperse. All things moisten and dry. Inhalation and exhalation are the method of Nature. Nature rotates and cycles back upon itself." - Visions of Zosimos, Zosimos of Panopolis, 3rd century CE
BOILING AND DIVINE is a collection of artworks and a series of lectures made in response to the literary and visual legacy of alchemy. Participating artists made work alongside one another during the Golden Dome School's ALCHEMICAL IMAGINATION intensive led by Eliza Swann and is being exhibited at the Philosophical Research Society from September 17th-October 15th. Manly Palmer Hall and PRS have contributed an enormous amount to the preservation and propagation of the divine arts of alchemy – we are indebted to him. The Golden Dome is an educational and curatorial platform dedicated to studying the relationship between art and mysticism.
