The Vast Extent - On Seeing and Not Seeing Further (Main)

The Vast Extent is a series of short texts on the subject of vision - pieces that cast light on one another. They encompass themes surrounding important (and often misunderstood) artworks, history and myth, strange voyages, scientific scrutiny and Lavinia Greenlaw's own reminiscences on a life richly and thoughtfully lived. These essays also feature historical figures who have had bearing on Greenlaw's thinking about seeing and perspective, including John Locke, Virginia Woolf, William Morris, Emily Dickinson and Francis Bacon, among others less familiar and more contemporary. Via conversations with scientists, philosophical thinkers and artists, Greenlaw gives us an entire 'exploded essay' of sorts, and opens up new possibilities for how we might perceive our worlds.
