Asemic - of the need to be immersed
Asemic work represents the need to be immersed in the intuitive awareness of things. I have been making asemic works long before it became 'fashionable'. I started out in the 90's as a calligrapher studying by snail mail for 2 years via the Digby Stuart College in London. I soon realised, having mastered the various styles (italic, Roman, Celtic, Copperplate, etc) that the freeform mark making excited me most. I was inspired by Mark Tobey, Cy Twombly, Jasper Johns and Willem de Koonig. There is a meditational element to asemic, working with silence and illegibility to express what cannot be described. Mark making, abstraction, non objective taking one to the depths of being, of consciousness beyond the literal. I began writing about my forays into asemic here . and a little asemic book is talked through on our you tube channel .
