My most fascinating fleeting memories (back into childhood) are textual–the large, colorful product packaging lettering, billboard lettering—that seems scattered through my thoughts just out of reach in cropped bits and fragments–
I refer to these writings that I draw and paint
as Asemic writing. Asemic writing does not intended to spell out actual words or even consist of actual readable letters or characters. I work from written language characters that have been abstracted in form, or cropped, reversed, or combined.
