This is beautifully articulated. I appreciate how you capture the tension between language as a tool for connection and as something that can also distort or confine. The way you describe asemic writing as honoring the act of writing itself, beyond meaning, really struck me. Thanks for sharing your perspective; it makes me see both language and art in a new light.
I've long found your asemic (a new word for me) drawing to be particularly beautiful. Now I have some understanding of why. A beautiful, beautiful line of thought.
Always love looking at asemic writing. Something about the energy, I guess. And memories of my art school years and abstract Impressionist painting. Energy. Thanks for this article. Really enjoyed it.
As always, you teach me something new. Asemic writing. Two things come to mind. Admiring children’s art that does not have words, nor recognizable shapes or forms. For lack of better words, fluid scribbles. Although EKG “writing” came to mind, also.

Beautifully written and insightful. This should become a landmark essay in the field.
Thank you Peter! I hope you are well.
