Another great mail art piece arrived yesterday from Laurence and upon further examination, I realized that it was not only an abstract image, but hidden layers of asemic writing too, yes?

What excellent examples have surfaced here!!!

I have been asked by quite a few people about the nature of Asemic Writing – WHAT is it??  Please note – this is my own PERSONAL VIEW!!! Asemic writing invites its readers to vacillate between the reading of text and visual shapes – a kind of hovering BETWEEN meaning if I can call it that?   Some asemic writers employ pictograms, symbols, different calligraphic styles .  Some is dark and dense, some is spidery and secretive. Some is black and white, some is color filled.  Asemics forms part of ones own personal visual language.   Asemics is almost the shadow- land of known writing systems to me.  Creativity is the source and meaning is meaning-less.  Asemics is also wrapped up in the post literate.   What do you think??? I would be interested to hear your definitions.
