CORK Triskel Arts Center Cork 1979


picture plane; the plane-of-illusion that has its maximum power at the centre where the boundary limits are furthest away and parallax of vision most loses touch with reality; unable to focus by parallax the unfocused eyes are forced into a space of illusion; eg divers need to see ripples on the water in order to gauge the distance of the dive
By testing it myself in 1969 and recalling experience of walls in my life up to then, I reaffirmed that flatness was only known to us, ironically, when we are able to see the bumps and unflat details. I named it: Porous Plane
