Asemic vispo by Carien van Hest (Netherlands)

Asemic visual poetry by Carien van Hest (Zutphen, Netherlands)

Carien van Hest is a faithful contributor to the Asemic Front Project, the IUOMA-Ning Asemic Writing for Mail Artists group and the Eternal Network in general. 

I believe this new Asemic Front 2 piece represents a breakthrough for Carien. Previously, she has concentrated on developing a personal style of asemic calligraphy, including her fascinating asemic journal. 

This colorful piece is a synthesis of visual poetry (vispo) and asemics in the spirit of much work produced for the Asemic Front Project. (Certainly, Asemic Front is open to all styles; but historically a particular form of asemic vispo has become associated with the project.)

I believe Carien van Hest has, seemingly without effort, produced wonderful asemic image-text with this work. I look forward to sharing more of her work in the future.
