<p>OK, this is the point I wanted to make. Before this recent wave of "Asemic Art" started, I wrote about "purist" asemic writing, which is down-to-basics calligraphy, pen on paper. When all the abstract paintings and digitally deconstructed alphabets become too much, I think you can locate a true asemic writing in this kind of simple calligraphy. Geof Huth sent me this piece a few years back. He has never called it asemic, but what else can it be? It hangs perfectly suspended between the…</p>

<p>Great points, Chris. In light of the ascension of the Motel Room School of Abstract Asemic Art, I want to respond to your very important statement. I will do so later when I have a bit more free time.</p>

<p>I'm a big fan of the "terrible handwriting" school of asemic writing. That's actually what got me thinking about asemic stuff years before I had ever heard of it: the inability to read my own handwriting and realizing my creative "readings" were probably more interesting than what I had intended to write down, which was likely quite mundane. This kind of asemic work calls one to read, primes the mind to read, and then makes it impossible to read. It becomes an exercise in perception…</p>

<p>Thx res, when I first received Henry's work, I thought he just had terrible handwriting, but it turns out it is intentionally asemic. I guess it didn't really sink in for me that there is an asemic address there. Glad you pointed that out.</p>
