Thank you for sharing, Michael. I have been revisiting some of our interviews from the past and have a renewed interest in creating more pieces. Thank you for the work that you have been doing all of these years. -Lynn

This is awesome. Will you be curating anymore shows? i have a friend that spontaneously began Asemic writing and sacred geometry after she had a fatal car accident. She has been compelled ever since to make all these giant pieces and didn't understand what it was until recently after i did some research and found your channel.

[@asemicwriter]

Sorry for the 7th month late reply and your friend's terrible accident. There will be more exhibits in the future, but right now I am busy with college and running my publishing project Post-Asemic Press: postasemicpress.blogspot.com/

How strange and fascinating. I appreciate this even if I don't understand it. The brain's relentless imposition of pattern is slyly stymied . I know it's nothing but I try to read it. Sort of takes you out of yourself doesn't it?
