Asemic Writing for Mail-Artists

Thanks JMB, much appreciated. And thanks for sticking with us through this thing. Cool shot Sue!

I agree with Katerina, Rosa’s contribution to Asemics 5 are stunning! Silenced me for one hour or so> Made this during the weekend and called it Looking into the sun asemics, particular is that it was painted on yellow cardboard paper.

From Rosa

Very beautiful, Rosa!

I am VERY much looking forward to Rosa's # 5 - looks grate - thank you for posting  Guido.  I see JMB got a bit and MomKat got it all - # 5 - another winner!  :-) X

Greetings)) today to all participants I send the chapter "Body slang. Asemic books #5-16. 2011". Envelopes are sealed. I apologize for some delay.

Gracias a todos ustedes!

Realmente amo todo ésto y estoy muy feliz de poder mostrar al público éstos maravillosos libros!

Please - trying to wrap up this asemics project - Yvonne and Mary Anne - how far are you?

Eco Asemics rule!

You have a great eye, Guido. No one has posted any eco-asemics in a while: "writ in stone."

Guido,there's always a place in my heart for Eco Asemics! Very Wabi-Sabi! Nice!!!

eECO ASEMIC?

Hello here again :-) - I am TRYING to tie up this project - I think some of you did not receive Maiska van den Heuvels asemics. It is a match box filled with paper slithers, each hand done. I have taken these two photographs so that you can have a record - for those of you who don't.  Asemics # 5 - Mary Ann and Yvonne - any movement on your asemics? I think by now you would have received everyone's copies? I am hoping to put these on exhibition - so PLEASE!!!

Asemic Book Marks!

A message for sure, on a wall in Bilbao, Spain.

Received totally FAB eco-asemics from Nancy Bell Scott (Maine, USA). Looks like a piece of birch bark:

Hi Katerina - It probably says LOX, which is smoked salmon!  I had some for lunch with Cathy for a Valentine's Day treat.

Cheers!

Just bought a new book on the frottages by Henri Michaux (exhibitions in Toulouse and Geneva), great stuff!! Here is one image (bilingual catalogue French/ English)

Wow, Guido. Michaux did frottage, Like David Chirot. This is a revelation. Thanks for sharing.

Sonja Hinrichsen's 'Snow Drawings' 

Snow Circles from Beauregard, Steamboat Aerials on Vimeo.

That's a fabulous piece by Lindall. I love her work.

A Lindall favorite from a few months ago:

Isn't it a beaut? My scanner won't show the light color properly--it's a light green that's slightly luminous. Better than the white you see here. Perfect.

Good to see you, KDJ!

The pilgrimage of poetry starts when language disappears (small painted envelope)

Nancy’s piece = birch bark. Similar example received from Marilyn Dammann in 1998 (personal delivery mail from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to Brussels, imagine that!)

UGH, at least there is an asemic monkey dancing on my head!

Small painted envelope

Got this from Susan Mc Allister: golden asemics

That one isn't my birch bark, Katerina--it's in photos somewhere--but Guido had mentioned receiving the one he posted below last century. (Don't you love saying that.)

I'm glad you posted Lindall's to you, it's fabulous!

That is a beautiful piece from Susan McAllister that you got Guido! Wow!

And Nancy, would a tiny piece of birch bark mail art make it to Greece, ya think ?

I bet "wood" products would not make the Greek postal clerk too happy...I wonder if? :-)

We shall give it a shot, Kat. ~

i'd like to show you what a received from Fabrice Riviere, Belgium...not a iuoma member.

it made my brain race...it's a wonderful two-piece of poetry first of all, then it has the many readings that touch various forms of visual poetry..haptic,etc.

connected through a thread...elements.

Thank you all for your kind and inspiring words!  Sometimes my art feels so 'forced' but these pieces have really just flowed (or is that flown!) out of me. 

The Elements piece is very interesting indeed...and an interesting co-exploration, as it were: I am currently working on a hyper-media/text piece ["web art"] called "Elemental," which is also based upon the Table of the Elements.

Here's one I did as a collab. with Sheila E. Murphy:

A recent asemic flurry in my post box.  Thank you to Karen Champlin & Lindall!

Karen always delights me.

From Lindall, a new advventure!

Love both of these, prettylily--great power in Karen's, great intricacy in Lindall's.
