1969-72 continuing…. construction of vision / PORUSPLANE
PorusPlane / is a breakthrough form of painting; it’s ethical imperatives, aesthetic judgements [ all mythologies being about the life of the body ] made for the greater universality of individual life over the smaller local mythology; the self- denying creationist myth of Word-Image-Representation… the new form of painting; restoration of somatic vision * in the form of a composite unit, the brushstroke-plane; based in the first composite body that of the mother& child body
This, the first indigenous form of painting to appear from Ireland brings the art of painting into the age of Einstein’s World of Relativity and quantum mechanics (1905) energy and substance coincide to produce the new autochthonous form of drawing where pigment is drawn from the substance of the plane itself =Autochthones / the preemptive palette is converted into post-hoc discoveries made from the leftover paint gathered over years = Arbitrary Colour Collections / the single composite unit expands into the shape of seeing within the subject’s individual méasure and the field-of-vision space-time = Bracket-Plane painting constructions of vision
* from its severance at the retina in 1826 when Nicéphone Niépce made the first héliograph mechanical retinas; photographs
