It was very challenging for me to use my biomorphic figures to create something with no meaning. Art tends to encapsulate and evoke certain feelings for its audience to feel, so trying to create something that is supposed to have no meaning was very interesting. What I did was I took apart a biomorphic figure I traced, and used its components to create my asemic language. I was inspired by Chinese characters, and how they had a handwritten-style to it. I used different brushes, one of charcoal and one of watercolor, to add variety and texture. Just like the alphabet, I varied each “letter,” with some of them just being reflected, like how the lower-cased “b” is a reflection of “d”. Also, I chose to stick with black, gray, and red, to make it seem as if pigments or ink was used to create my language.
