Photographic Self-Portrait in Tondo Painting (1990) Painting

edzy edzed Photographic Self-Portrait in Tondo Painting (1990) photographic emulsion, white printing ink, mirrors, gouged plywood 47” diameter I was motivated to try a larger work using “Liquid Light” photo-emulsion (no longer available in Canada) onto a plywood disk with existing pierced holes. I added four more holes to describe a square (as in a square peg in a round hole dynamic) which later would become reflective. After manipulating the surface with fire and wire brushing, I beamed my “mirrored convex image” onto the emulsion with a modified slide projector. It was treated the same way as any black and white print in a dark room. Thinking of the ink as paint, I rolled the ink over the grain of the wood revealing the highlights. This artwork serves me as a reminder of Lucio Fontana slashing through pure white painted canvases as the original inventor revealing the blackened void of the 4th dimension beyond the substrate.
