Context
The one distinctive interest recorded here is theosophy — the esoteric movement founded by Helena Blavatsky and others in 1875, which sought a synthesis of religion, philosophy and science around the idea of an ancient universal wisdom underlying all traditions. Theosophy had a documented influence on early twentieth-century abstract art (Kandinsky, Mondrian) and on a strand of holistic and anti-materialist thought that overlaps at its edges with some of the material collected on this wiki, particularly where physics is approached as part of a wider philosophy of nature. Whether and how Duffy's own work engages that tradition is not recorded here.
Readers who reached this page looking for the intersection of art, esotericism and natural philosophy may find the wiki's material on holism and the philosophy of nature more substantial than this entry can yet be.
