Comment by Jan Hodgman on October 25, 2015 at 7:10pm: DeVIllo, just so you won't need to lose any sleep over the orientation of my latest piece, the red stamp in the bottom left (vertical orientation) is how it was created. The red stamp is my monk name in Japanese and is not asemic. That's a quandary on a purported asemic piece, to "sign" or not. But I'm also appreciating the spare use of words in your pieces (as below) and others, as a counterpoint to the nonsignified symbols. I also appreciated the comment about global/ universal perspective. I'm fond of creating out of the centerless center. In true nondual fashion, we can question (or just forget about) any sense of orientation (interesting word, that!).

Thanks for the conversation.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on October 25, 2015 at 12:05pm: Chris Wells (Ohio, USA) sent me this great piece combining asemics and erasure. Many thx to Chris.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on October 23, 2015 at 12:26am: If anyone on the planet knows, it's Fike. (Only which planet?) I keep thinking I overlooked something with this. It is working better for me here.

Comment by Ficus strangulensis on October 23, 2015 at 12:07am: I want to turn it 'upside down' and, of course, don't know top from bottom.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on October 23, 2015 at 12:00am: Many thanks to group member Jan Hodgman (Washington State, USA) for sending this FAB, crisp piece.

Comment by John M. Bennett on October 19, 2015 at 2:16pm: Thanks for posting these, De Villo -

Comment by De Villo Sloan on October 19, 2015 at 1:07pm: I've blogged three vispo TLPs I received from Jim Leftwich. These are collabs by Jim and John M. Bennett. Definitely there are asemic elements in these pieces.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on October 18, 2015 at 11:59am: Group members probably know asemics and Trashpo meet in a practice called Trashemics (which I think Neil Gordon invented).

Jim Leftwich sent me his very interesting Trashemic essays that I am sharing with you here.
