Typewriter art for sale: Keeping Out Of Mischief

vispo concrete poetry for sale unique typewriter art
RTomens, 2020

 

This typewriter art is for sale. price: £55 + £250 postage. A4 size on matt coated photo paper (120gsm)




Another in the 'precision' series of visual poetry typewriter pieces. As much as I like to improvise, let the words evolves under my loose guidance, I'm becoming more enamoured with controlled creations. Perhaps the title is apt. I'm acting as if I'm...in control? 

I do my best to keep out of mischief but, you know, it's hard. Part of me still wants to knock on doors in our street and run away, as we did when we were kids. Trouble is, these days, with the amount of gentrification around here, they probably have cameras. So I'd be walking down the street and someone would say "You knocked on our door and ran away!". Imagine the embarrassment.

    I've always liked old machines because in their imperfection they give you more freedom to experiment. I'm a big fan - and some time practitioner - of copy art or xerox art, but the latest photocopiers are too neat and precise for my liking.

      Agreed! They force you to accept imperfection. As for modern copy machines/printers, I find them very useful, but I know what you mean. My old zines were done on relatively 'basic' copiers. At the time I thought it was great new technology, of course!
