Had f2f meet-up at Asemic Front Headquarters in Auburn, NY, USA w/ longtime collab partner (from Louisiana) DES. A very productive session, which I'm documenting on AF2. Some of the pieces will be mailed.

I've posted some excellent asemic calligraphy by Tucker Sampson (Concord, New Hampshire, USA) at Asemic Front 2:

Hi Richard, a lot has been written about Kerri Pullo, which can be found on line. I'm basing what I say here on those public sources. Her interview on the Lemonhound blog is particularly good, I think.

Kerri started her asemic career here at IUOMA almost a decade ago. She was an active mail artist and many surely remember her.

The Arabic calligraphy meets abstract expressionism is spot on. She says Arabic calligraphy and Islamic art are big influences on her asemics (they were for Brion Gysin too). I believe Kerri is of Arabic descent on her father's side and maybe Irish on the other? ) but could not find the source where I read it). She grew up mostly in Indiana, USA  totally absorbing things such as abstract art, which she acknowledges as an influence. She is, for me, yet another astonishing synthesis that gives USA culture such vitality.

In this recent work, I see her returning to her more spiritual roots, which is not uncommon for artists, as you know. I called some of these new pieces Angelic.

The fact that our humble group nurtured both Kerri Pullo and Nancy Bell Scott gives me tremendous pride.

16.10.20 Dare Mister De Villo S.,...  The works of Ms. Kerri Pullo seem to suggest the possibility of  "Arabic Calligraphy meeting  Jackson Pollock". "Elegant"  is all I can utter.. Thanx for sharing. SinCelery, Richard Canard........Post Scriptum:   "The first thing God created was the pen."----The Prophet Muhammad

It looks like a magic curtain.

I am thrilled to share an outstanding batch of new work by Kerri Pullo (Arizona, USA) at Asemic Front 2. Kerri has been participating in AF since the start. I think these pieces mark a high point in her artistic career. Thanks to Kerri

I received a huge collection of vispo titled "decompositions" from Jim Leftwich (Virginia, USA). Exploring this material will take time, but I plan to share it. Deepest thanks to Jim.

Thanks Borderline Grafix - I have a set of collabs with you just about completed.

Welcome to the great Richard Baudet! Thank you for the piece by Sylvia.

And Richard your wonderful calligraphy could be turned into some very fine asemic writing, I think

Feel free to share with the group. Thanks again
