. . . it is not commonly understood that the visual 
is the only sense which creates the illusion of 
uniform, connected spaces. The man who lives in 
an aural world lives at the centre of a 
communications sphere, and he is bombarded 
with sensory data from all sides simultaneously. 
The aurally structured culture has none of the 
tracts of visual space long regarded as “normal,” 
“natural” space by literate societies. The painter 
who works within the confines of a visual, literate 
culture has to cope with a milieu in which spaces 
tend to be connected. It is a world of logic and 
storylines.
