This is the website for my Senior Thesis, Welcome!
This thesis reflects one year of research on Emma Kunz (1892-1963) a woman who during her lifetime was known as a healer, but who always considered herself a researcher. Because of the hundreds of abstract drawings left to us as her legacy, she is now considered an artist.
My goal and challenge has been to write about Emma Kunz’s work in a way that does justice to what it meant to her as a researcher. This brought me on a journey into the worlds of prehistoric art, math, physics, psychology, the occult, and contemporary art theory. It even brought me on a journey to Switzerland to visit the Emma Kunz Center and Grotto myself. I have been amazed in the process of my research to see so many connections brought together through the work of one woman. You can read about her, her work, and my experience in the following posts.
