Nico Vassilakis
How letters release from words and what they find themselves doing before and after forming into words.
Letters are free to arrange themselves any way they want.
For a moment they’re autonomous and independent with no restrictions, so they navigate or are drawn toward one another in order to form new and unrealized results.
My vispo tends to mimic this reflex, it strives to capture and promote this moment.
Nico Vassilakis writes and draws language. Many of his results can be found online and on his website, Staring Poetics.
