GRADIENTS by Kristine Snodgrass is Out Now @ Amazon! Post-Asemic Press #026

 

Out now from Post-Asemic Press, Gradients by Kristine Snodgrass! 

She best explains the book here:

"Gradients is a book of digital transmographications of asemics tattooed and drawn on the poet’s body. The work plays with mutations, embellishment, ritual, and collaboration with artists and tattoo artists. This book offers a moment to look at the process and images that resulted."

“Snodgrass’s Gradients is a haunting series of visual poems, examining the relationships between images and ideologies, particularly the misogynistic currents in American commercial discourse and its depictions of femininity. Asemic poems, written or tattooed directly onto the poet’s body, are photographed and then transformed by the poet through glitching. The resulting “Gradients” allow perversely fascinating visions of societal structures that emerge from obliterations of the female form. The reader is at once reminded of the ideological implications of any image, so often and so easily overlooked and accepted, as well as the role of the viewer in creating the real world effects of these implications. It is an astonishing book!” 

–Andrew Brenza

“In the twisted cosmic dance of cannibalistic energies, Kristine Snodgrass’ Gradients emerges as a frenzied feast for the senses. It devours the boundaries of perception, consuming the flesh of conventional art forms and regurgitating a psychedelic organ traffic of raw expression. Through glitched visions and asemic transgressions, it devours the oppressive structures that confine us, devouring them with insatiable hunger. Within Gradients, the body becomes an altar of consumption, where tattoos and asemic writings are etched upon the skin, merging with the very essence of existence. It is a ritual of devouring, a carnal communion with the chaotic forces that reside within. The colors bleed and merge, swirling in a cosmic maelstrom of ecstasy and despair, as the boundaries between self and other dissolve into an abyss of cosmic cannibalism. The images and collages pulsate with an unearthly vitality, drawing us into a vortex of fragmented realities. It is a visual chaos, where the grotesque and the beautiful intertwine in an intricate dance of creation and destruction. Gradients devours the limitations of perception, transcending the confines of the known universe and plunging us into the depths of cosmic cannibalism. In this swirling chaos, pain and pleasure intertwine, merging into a sublime ecstasy that defies comprehension. It is a journey into the darkest recesses of the psyche, where the primal urges of consumption and creation merge into a singular cosmic act. Gradients is a testament to the insatiable hunger of the creative spirit, a feast for those willing to abandon the safety of the known and embrace the devouring embrace of cosmic cannibalism.”

—Kenji Siratori, author of Blood Electric and Paracelsus

id est: neo scribalist asemic expressionism by Michael Jacobson is available now at Amazon! Post-Asemic Press #024

id est: neo scribalist asemic expressionism by Michael Jacobson is available now at Amazon! 

id est: neo scribalist asemic expressionism is a hand painted (with gouache and watercolor pencils) abstract illuminated manuscript. It utilizes asemic writing to tell the story of my psychological journey and final arrival into Agnostic Pantheism; the book is about going through mental hell and emerging as a spiritual survivor. id est contains 73 artworks painted with gouache and water color pencils on water color paper. This work was begun in 2021 and completed in 2023. The calligraphy in the book is rough and designed to be neo-expressive and true rather than technically perfect. The title id est means “that is” in Latin and is an homage to past and future scribes. I learned some Latin years ago to help me quit smoking cigarettes; every time I felt the urge to smoke, I would pull out my Latin dictionary and learn a few words till the craving subsided. Yet, there are no words in id est; instead, the book is filled with asemic calligraphy, mysterious figures, and abstract symbols. The book is meant to be read as a meditation even though most of the art is hectic, noisy, and urban. My intention was to take and modernize and revive the role of the scribe and demonstrates a new mode of contemporary free expression. The release of id est coincides with my 50th revolution around the Sun and is presented to the reader as a ticket to the universe and as a document of my spiritual quest.

Works that influenced my creation process are The Book of Kells, Bestiaries, a Batak Pustaha, The Codex Seraphinianus, The Voynich Manuscript, The Rohonc Codex, Mayan and Aztec painted books, Kenneth Patchen's picture-poems, William Blake's mystical illuminations, Tom Phillips' A Humument, Timothy Ely's artist books, Visual poetry, and the wilder action scribes of the asemic movement. Three artists who influenced my book are: Cy Twombly, José Parlá, and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
