I don't th...It's breathtakingly beautiful. I don't think I can explain it fully, but something happened on (as marked) p. 28 that really took my breath away. It was a transformation of the glyphs that nonetheless stayed within the emergent protocol of the book.<br /><br />I like how you get to a sense of asemic writing through (for lack of a better description) a sort of cropping. And yes, in the several pages, the shapes of the negative space suggest panels in an abstract comic more than the ascending and descending limits of letters.<br /><br />BUT, I never lose that sense of asemic writing or that the guiding image is the shape of text on a page. So what happens when abstract comics and asemic writing run together in this way is that you give me a greater sense of their commonality. And I like that!<br /><br />I think all this poemics/abstract comics/asemic writing/visual poetry work needs to ultimately blur and bleed. I don't think it is accidental that there is so much crossover between artists doing work in these "genres" (is that the right word even?).<br /><br />Anyway, I hope the terms give us productive direction rather than function as boundary or guarded territory.Jonny Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461895600346750968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664339004455546288.post-44762059086164880252010-04-13T10:51:53.726+02:002010-04-13T10:51:53.726+02:00it's beautiful!
I guess poemics can be found...it's beautiful! <br /><br />I guess poemics can be found here right when the difference is forgotten.<br /><br />and the plans (200+ pages) sound great!pszrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815242943371171959noreply@blogger.com
