Asemics by Linda Rogers (Toronto, Canada)


 Asemic art by Linda Rogers (Toronto, Canada)
 
 
This colorful and densely layered card marks the first appearance of Linda Rogers in the Asemic Front project. She is a member of the asemic writing group at IUOMA and also a participant in the mail art network. Thus, this piece is a happy meeting of correspondence art and asemic writing-visual poetry.
 
Linda Rogers uses a minimal space (the postcard format) for maximum benefit. I can locate calligraphy, deconstructive asemics and invented symbols. The work has extraordinary depth. The curves and cross patterns suggest larger asemic structures and the ever-elusive "asemic syntax."
 
Many thanks to Linda Rogers for this wonderful contribution to Asemic Front 2. I'll be looking for more!
