Seesongs

 The eyes look, and the eyes read. I propose they can also listen - an act different from both looking and reading. To explore this possibility, I have put together a book of non-linguistic, non-pictorial visual material: Seesongs. The drawings in this book are progressions which might be called asemic music.

 ‘When the eye listens, the mind sings.’

"Taste's Last Skrap"

One morning I found a Sotheby’s catalogue from 1981 languishing on the curb, in the sun, abandoned. I picked it up - it’s the kind of used paper I use for brush practice. After filling the pages with ink gestures, I ripped it up, the scraps scattered on the floor. I thought they were dead but as I gathered them up they came back to life. “Taste’s Last Skrap” is the recatalogueing of the fragments of those used pages.

"asemic maifun"

asemic maifun

(Asemic writing is writing that carries no semantic value.)

Cooking maifun rice noodles one night I noticed a similarity between the thin brittle noodles and marks made by a pen. I took some noodle shards into the backroom and photographed them on a scrap of black paper. Then, as if the photos were negatives, I 'developed' them in photoshop. The result: 'asemic maifun'.
