Visual Prose

 or, vispro. What is that?  I am seeking to explicate some parameters in which to frame various artworks one could term   vispro   and   through visual examples   elucidate a philosophy for the existence of   vispro .     Through the use and discussion of unusual and everyday examples of   vispro ,  I wish to test if   vispro   can exist within a valid theoretical framework.  I intend using   the   Liber Linteus  (a linen book) otherwise known as the   linen book of Zagreb to   typify a physical manifestation of   vispro . It is no longer intact as   Mihajlo  Barić unwrapped the relic, but the photograph below (date unknown) would exemplify the embodiment of  vispro.  The mummy of Zagreb with fragments of the Liber Linteus ( http://www.geocities.ws/jackiesixx/caere/linteus.htm ) date of photograph unknown.

Cheryl Penn - A vispro journey.

Unfortunately they can’t be bigger because no linen is wider, and wooden frames distort, but ten, twenty, thirty layers of writing or making marks that look like writing, I write, and write and write. Further, I submit my own work as  vispro  having become frustrated with the term ‘vispo’ which seems too encompassing – a generic term to cover a multitude of textual creatures which no longer know why they are even on the textual visual plains – they’re just there, wondering exactly what they are – or not  - I’m often surprised by the indifference with which their inventors create and dispose of them.  Layer 1: The Student. I am a writer, but I am an artist too. Writing has consumed me since childhood. Whether it was the distraught pages of a teenage diary, the ravings of an early 20’s lu...

Some definitions.

Some Definitions:   Form   -  in the instance of attempting to define  vispro,  is the visible outcome of the work intended to be read as  vispro : it’s visible shape, configuration, it’s external manifestation of the inward  vispro  idea.    Medium  for purposes of discussion on  vispro  is intended to encompass the various ‘how’s’ related to the creation of  vispro.   Such mediums include writing, asemic writing, computer generated images, cut-up text, collage, painting, drawing – any tool the  vispro  initiator uses in order to create the  vispro  form. Mediums such as asemic* writing are taken for granted in terms of all it conveys both in current and emerging theory.     Prose  is generally defined as ‘ordinary language’ which follows regular grammatical conventions and does not contain a formal metrical structure. Prose encompasses areas of human conversatio...
