The art of Canadian American artist Gilah Yelin Hirsch can be characterized by a search for meaning. Archaeology of Metaphor brings together original ideas in art, science, ecology, and human consciousness as well as additional timeless themes, such as contemporary issues of race and equality. At the same time, this book examines and connects psychological, scientific, and philosophical implications of form as represented in Hirsch’s oeuvre.
