Comment by De Villo Sloan on April 25, 2013 at 9:53am: Welcome Moan, I've been watching your spontaneous poetry generation elsewhere. It's great that it's taken an asemic turn. Thanks for posting this fascinating work (the enlarge function is really helpful for folks who want to take a closer look). The symbols & script evolve in a stream-of-consciousness way so the field is not frozen into any specific "language" like a lot of other asemic work, Great stuff, IMHO.

JMB, thanks for that insight on your work. I know some people are hesitant to explain a lot, leaving the work to speak for itself. Those little insights, though, can be very illuminating for some of us.

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on April 24, 2013 at 6:31pm: More ecosemics: who is riding the wall as a horse? The tree does!

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on April 24, 2013 at 6:29pm: More ecosmics, some «lucky shots», reflections of the leaves of trees in a water bowl in my garden, a sea food ship in fact of which now my cats and rabbit drink

Comment by John M. Bennett on April 24, 2013 at 2:27pm: hi de villo

yep, there's always a narrative outside or inside or somewhere in and around my work, or many narratives. since we exist in the dimension of time (among other dimensions), there's always a story - always

Comment by De Villo Sloan on April 24, 2013 at 11:13am: John, I really like these semic-asemic pieces. "he began, 'that ain't the whole story" - you're going to be tagged with pomo with things like that, suggesting there is a narrative there somewhere outside the work. You have a real field composition thing going there also with those partial word elements.

Asemic comrades, seeking the Holy Grail of the purely asemic, JMB's calligraphy in black is certainly one path: You have the suggestion of letters, words, syntax. As far as I can see, they refuse to come together into something that can be "read" in any conventional way.

Guido, I go for "cosmic spaghetti" there, where the asemics are food but also a representation of speech itself, IMHO.

Wow, we are blessed with that beautiful work by Tatiana Makarova: beautiful and not unlike Kerri Pullo's object poem pieces.

Kerri, I understand Claudia Mc Gill is stepping out of collage for the first time to experiment with asemics & vispo elements, although she is primarily a painter.

Thanks all!

Comment by Kerri Pullo on April 22, 2013 at 11:15pm: this piece by Claudia is a beauty!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on April 22, 2013 at 5:46pm: Claudia McGill (Wyncote, Pennsylvania, USA) sent me this gorgeous work. The approach is "painterly" but I see elements of asemics & vispo. Anyway, it's a work I treasure:
