Jerseymics by Erica Durante (Waldwick, New Jersey, USA)

April 29, 2015 - Asemic writing: Everyone is doing it these days, or so it seems. And New Jersey correspondent, Erica Durante, weighs in with what I take to be her take on asemics.

This piece makes it clear to me that asemics and automatic writing/drawing are closely related. The piece has a childlike quality, bolstered by the stars that might have been placed by a parent or teacher. (Possibly it’s Trashpo.) Is Erica Durante making wry commentary on the over-intellectualization of asemic writing? Is she showing us it is easy, and we should look to children for inspiration? I shall plead my own reading is indeterminate and inconclusive. Perhaps you have another understanding, dearest.

I am always thrilled to hear the news from Erica Durante. I offer congratulations as she continues in her superb role as President of DKULTJER: DKult New Jersey.
