The essential and dramatic declaration “Let there be light” of Genesis is not so far removed from Mary Corse’s recollection of the moment in 1968 when the late afternoon sun electrified the reflective road markings of Malibu as she drove east. In an instant, the glowing asphalt markings provided the oracle she needed to realize she could ‘put light in the painting and not just make a picture of light’.  Using the same glass microbeads utilized by road maintenance services, she layers and embeds the prismatic material in bands and geometric configurations creating nuanced glimmering abstract fields which shift as the viewer moves in relationship to the work. Move to one side and dimness brightens to light. Walk back and forth and you might feel a rippling effect from its shimmering, prismatic effects.<br><br>A photographic image of a Mary Corse microsphere painting is not only a dull representation, but it also misses the point – it is experience dependent art that requires participation to ‘be’.  Of course, “Untitled” (1975) defies that one-point static perspective and instead, depends upon a real time, interactive art experience which heightens awareness of the body in space as the viewer experiences shifts of retinal stimulation, sensation and feeling. It is a rare bird.  Unusually petite at two-foot square, its design, geometry and color belie her earlier revelation that led to a devotion to her usual reductive palette. Instead, it is a bold statement in sequined color, its center field bounded at the corners by a sparkling red stepped motif that separates it from its starry night sky corner spandrels. It may not include a star motif, but it has the glamour and presence that belongs along Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.

ההצהרה המהותית והדרמטית "ויהי אור" של בראשית אינה רחוקה עד כדי כך מזיכרונה של מרי קורסה את הרגע בשנת 1968, כאשר שמש אחר הצהריים המאוחרת חשמלה את סימוני הכביש המשקפים של מליבו כשנסעה מזרחה. ברגע, סימוני האספלט הזוהרים סיפקו את הנביאה שהיא צריכה כדי להבין שהיא יכולה "לשים אור בציור ולא רק לעשות תמונה של אור". באמצעות אותם מיקרוביאדות זכוכית המשמשות את שירותי תחזוקת הכביש, היא משתלטת ומטביעה את החומר הפריסמטי ברצועות ובתצורות גיאומטריות היוצרות שדות מופשטים מנצנצים בעלי ניואנסים המשתנים ככל שהצופה נע ביחס לעבודה. מעבר לצד אחד ועמעום מאיר לאור. לכו הלוך ושוב ואולי תרגישו אפקט אדוות מהאפקטים המנצנצים והפרי-סמטיים שלו.

תמונה מצולמת של ציור מיקרוספרה של מרי קורס היא לא רק ייצוג משעמם, אלא גם מפספסת את הנקודה – היא חווה אמנות תלויה שדורשת השתתפות "להיות". כמובן, "ללא כותרת" (1975) נוגד את הפרספקטיבה הסטטית של נקודה אחת ובמקום זאת, תלוי בחוויית אמנות אינטראקטיבית בזמן אמת אשר מגבירה את המודעות לגוף בחלל כאשר הצופה חווה שינויים של גירוי רשתית, תחושה ותחושה. זו ציפור נדירה. קטן במיוחד על שני מטר מרובע, העיצוב שלה, גיאומטריה וצבע לסמוך על הגילוי הקודם שלה שהוביל מסירות לוח ההקטנה הרגיל שלה. במקום זאת, זוהי אמירה נועזת בצבע נצנצים, השדה המרכזי שלה תחום בפינות על ידי מוטיב אדום נוצץ צעד המפריד אותו מן ההקפצות פינת שמי הלילה הכוכבים שלה. זה אולי לא כולל מוטיב של כוכב, אבל יש לו את הזוהר והנוכחות ששייכים לאורך שדרת הכוכבים של הוליווד.
