Hoboken Irises @3QD – with Thoughts on Iris Dwellers and Iris Galaxies

I’ve got a new piece at 3 Quarks Daily. It’s built around eleven photographs of irises: A Fantasia on Irises.

Artists too have been attracted to irises. Here’s three:

Ogata Korin, Irisis, c. 1705.
Vincent Van Gogh, Irises, 1889.
Georgia O’Keefe, White Iris, 1930.
