VISPROSE

I don't know if that term has been hanging around for a bit...Visual Prose, but I'm definitely coining it if it hasn't. I am telling stories, where words and colour, mood and image collide. It seems an appropriate name.

Babel Where The Babble Began Chapbook for alteration and TICTAC's Zine in a Box

Back on Babel - a great source of creative intervention and inspiration, especially seeing what language is becoming. This chapbook, as is, will go into TICTAC's Zine in a Box, but a number of them will be posted for alteration and returned, copied and redistributed. If you're at all keen, leave a comment or contact me.

Asemic Writing - A Proposition

I am attempting to wind up an article I began a year ago on Asemic Writing - the enormous puzzle of it all. I am looking for definitions from Asemic writers which transcend what we KNOW about this writing form to what YOU know. It is an attempt to create a collective knowledge about this creative practice and it's practitioners.  If you would like to contact me, please leave your email in the comments, or get hold of me on the mighty FACEBOOK...  Collaboration is the only way I have come to gain my understanding about topics such as this.  All definitions will be acknowledged and the article distributed by email to the participants.
Thanking you in anticipation  :-)

X-WORDS came about as a result of thinking about this writing form.

Asemic Black and White

I was asked to contribute to an exhibition. I don't know if I got the story wrong (thats a normal thing now days!) but I think it was work in black and white. All these are large worlds (spelling error originally but I think I will leave it...) ranging in size from 2.5m X 2.5m - 2.2m x .85cm, oil on board or canvas. This first one is a painting made of a collaborative work between John Bennett (USA) and myself - an unknown asemic alphabet titled ALPHABOT:

I wrote a Letter to My Love and on the Way I Dropped It 10

This is the 10th (OBVIOUSLY!) in a series of paintings, but the first which has not been subjected to cut-up. I think sadly (maybe), the cut-up era (The Authentic Massacre of the Innocent Image Series) has mostly concluded - at painting 110. This is too large and heavy to cut up in any event - it weighs about 12 kgs and is 2.2mX.85 in size...posting pieces of that through the mail with the Post Office not delivering would be just a little ridiculous.
This new series is based on a cuneiform relic I have (copy) from the Louvre which incidentally is part of the Bible Exhibition. When I look at the relic and the painting, there is not a lot similarity. I should have looked a little closer I guess, but the wonderful thing about painting is that tomorrow is another day...
