The "finish" of consciousness: Emily Dickinson and Georgia O'Keeffe

Article Abstract:

The abstract quality in Georgia O'Keefe's paintings and in Emily Dickinson's poetry stem from their efforts to represent consciousness. Both these women, who worked at around the same time, focussed on the pure consciousness and so there is an apparent lack of closure. Their shared avoidance of emotional entanglements makes their very intense works strangely detached and unmoving.

Large warm-blooded carnivores lurked in Australian forests such as the giant monitor lizard, the Tasmanian Devil, the Spotted-Tailed Quoll and the Musky Rat-kangaroo.
