Thank you very much Fatima! Back to basics concrete poetry. Wonderful!

Now when you get into creating new symbols with overlaid letters, suggestions of syntax or different ways of thinking about linearity by the way things are structured on the page, that might be considered asemic.

it does sound like Boston....interestingly I have lived on Comm Ave! But, it is also Chicago's Electric Co.... my father worked there as an electrical engineer early '80's.

Kerri, Commonwealth Edison - sounds like Boston.

Then you probably saw at M-L that I deem the plastic comb calligraphy Dark wall's worst work, worse even then the mashed PB&J sandwich on the scanner bed.

BUT they do seem to have the same quality as these recent asemic inkblot experiments by Cheryl Penn, you, Guido and others. And you know that Rorschach inkblot test was a tool in classic Freudian analysis and is still considered a valid psychological test today. It all hinges around what each individual sees in the inkblots, indeed what they project on it.

So I think what you see in the work is very interesting. Only it is holding up a mirror. What you see is yourself.

I like this one a lot DVS! it somehow reminds me of my grandmother's backyard....her backyared closely, dangerously closely, bordered railroad tracks lined with seemingly never ending beautiful asemic sculpture... courtesy of Commonwealth Edison.

Fantastic Kerri. I like the way the background also has smoky or ghostly asemics.

Here's more plastic comb asemic calligraphy. Guess I should callit "Parted in the Middle" or something.
