• Description:
  “Everything within a circle is one thing, which is encircled, enframed,” wrote 20th-century American mythologist and lecturer Joseph Campbell. This month’s cover art, A Timeless Symbiosis, uses the motif of circles to connect animals and humans. Bindu Viswanathan, the artist who created the painting, is also a lecturer and bio- statistician at the University of Texas, Austin. Many of herpaintings inspire viewers to think about the fuller connec- tion between animals and humans. According to Viswana- than, “Circles have no beginning and no end, much like the interdependence of humans and animals. They also represent the womb, the origin of life, and its con- tinuum.” (All quotes from B. Viswanathan, pers. comm. Nov 3, 2017.)
