I am an ex-writer/ visual artist working with interconnections among reading, looking and listening. The vehicles for my explorations are drawings (digital & analog) and books. This includes graphic novellas, abstract comics, asemic writing and asemic music. Since my language is visual, it’s international.
I have a long practice of asemic writing (writing with no semantic value) and my work is discussed at length Peter Schwenger’s scholarly study “Asemic The Art of Writing” (2019). Currently I am working with sound. Though sound is invisible, it has structure. I listen for those structures – they produce ongoing revelations.
This website features a portion of my work.
