Prouns and Proun-ies

“Prouns” with apologies to El Lissitzky, “Proun-ies” with apologies to verbicide and God.

Presented here (the time has come to explain myself): Efforts to bring, or at least express, architectural motivations and the seeds of vernacular through two-dimensional painterly space. Acts of Modernism, and by certain modalities of extension, acts of Constructivism and Suprematism, from which the work concerned here derives its inspiration from, are acts of top-down grid management. The Prouns and Proun-ies are markedly different in this sense, as they suggest without defining; not agents of narrowing solutions, but figures of broadening potential, in whatever mediums they may be concerned with, at face value or otherwise.
