Asemic Writing System 1-9
Here's a look at the auto-imaginal symbolic process as a form of visual system design. Asemic writing: writing without meaning, where visual systems disintegrate in the face of auto-imaginal gesture. A sketchbook page turned into these symbolic asemic numbers, and I wanted to return to the centred thick stroke to create these skeletal lines. I think the results are almost tribal, with a bit of the alien.
Has potential for further pieces or pattern interactions. Some basic colour experimentation in the following slides, it's a joy to see these forms replicate, interact, communicate with one another. What do you think? Could these repetitions represent actual numbers? How big does the scale go?
