Christopher, thank you for the insights.

Guido, thank you for posting the asemics

I hope people will not feel at all bashful about continuing to post their work. The discussion was related to a collab book by Kerri & Guido. But the comment in question was posted on Facebook & not in this group.

If I may add some thoughts to the discussion regarding what asemic art and writing is, I would firstly say that despite the seemingly disrespectful remarks that prompted this discussion, like most artistic forms, a degree of flexibility and interpretation is required when compartmentalising asemic art.

Like most people, I do not personally appreciate everything posted as asemic here at IUOMA, but respect and value the work and thoughts of those who are exploring and enjoying the inspiration, as well as the sense of community and collaboration that is a big part of what we are all here for. A healthy discussion needs participation on all sides though, and occasionally, someone is bound to 'rattle the cage and set the dogs barking.'

It has been very inspirational to read the recent comments by regular contributors to this forum, that have been both mature and respectful. Thank you. The Internet can be a bitchy place to be sometimes and I'm glad that the IUOMA asemic group isn't part of that. And a bit proud.

Kerri, you are very well respected for your asemic work here. DVS, you are absolutely right about denial and the existence of things; when the boundaries are set, there is absolutely no prospect of progression. What is asemic if it is not constantly evolving and being something that it is not?

One must consider the motive behind Pete Spence's original comments - whatever they were - I have not read them and cannot judge them - but I assume that he has his reasons for what he said.

Voltaire said "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."

Wise words.

You have no reason to apologize. Forget it and please keep making your wonderful art. (And listen to Dylan's "The Boxer" cuz tht's what the biz is about).

I am sorry. I extend my apologies for this mess. My feelings were hurt and I acted childishly. Thank you all for your support and guidance.

I want to make sure Pete Spence knows he is welcome to join this group & enter into any dialogue in a non-confrontational and supportive way.

I have been an admirer of his work and it breaks my heart to see a historic figure like that reduced to trolling the net and posting embarrassing comments that undermine the confidence of especially emerging artists. We all go through rough patches, so maybe we should send him some mail-art to remind him what this is all really about.

Thank you all for having some restraint in not joining in a public gutting.

I do believe asemic writing is an especially vibrant area right now thanks to both brilliant established and emerging practitioners.

I also believe the theory is particularly compelling and sound. Just wanted to make that clear.

Looks like Asemics to me John.

instinctual, impulsive, thoughtful, planned markings. to be deciphered or not to be decipered.
