Anthony D. Kelly: The Lexicon of Wonder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at the \u00c1ras Inis Gluaire in Belmullet, Co. Mayo, Ireland
11 July-15 August 2025 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wonder and awe are complex emotions arising in response to experiences of profound beauty, connection, natural phenomena, or through bearing witness to the incredible capacities, courage or talents of other human beings. Artist Anthony D. Kelly draws the contemporary research of Psychologist Dacher Keltner and Philosopher Helen De Cruz into the importance of Wonder as a state of being. This new body of work is inspired by wonder, materials sourced from old children’s scientific encyclopedias and contemporary collage techniques. They can also arise at times of great personal crisis or fear such as witnessing the raw power of nature at a time of natural disaster. Encountering reality through the states of wonder and awe can make an individual feel simultaneously small, and deeply connected to the world around them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are emotions that inspire us to both transcend our own self interests and to delve deeply into our desire for greater understanding. They are in short the emotions of human discovery, and as such the unifying engines of the human curiosity behind philosophy, science and the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
