Aside from the fiction writing I do on the side (working on novel) much of the writing I do on a day-to-day basis is technical. Business plans, processes, technical systems engineering stuff. I was drawn to the meaningful elements of Asemic writing through one of my favorite poets and visual artists Sam Roxas-Chua and writer/painter Patrick Collier. This transcends the practice of conjuring an image or feeling through the sparing use of language and descriptors. This practice forces me to not let that muscle atrophy. A marking with a single intent tells a backstory through flow and composition. This particular piece I borrowed on my recent studies in Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic languages. It tells of a reality which can only be blurred even further by the concrete ‘consensus reality’ or ‘truth’ imposed on it (bold yellow line.) The arc is rule of law itself which tries as it may, to cast a measure over it. Both aspects are bold, but in retrospect do very little to change the simplistic, natural power of simple reality, a reality which is shortening day by day by day (burned edges) as time passes. The piece is called ‘The Blurriness of Bold Lines’
