A book about the shadow side of writing, with asemic art by Mirtha Dermisache, Jean Dubuffet, Brion Gysin, Susan Hiller, Henri Michaux and more

Looking at the rich tradition of art, from the early 20th century to the present, in which writing sheds its communicative function and pursues the inarticulable, Writing by Drawing explores the fertile tension between the semantic and the uncharted territory of automatism, mark-making and scribbles--the "asemic."
