Abstract: This artist portfolio contextualizes my work with "typoems"-typographical asemic poetry exploring aphasic experience as a source of inspiration that reflects on the contingency of our interpretations.Collaged typographic fragments have a specific lineage within Concrete and Visual poetry made by graphic designers and artists engaged with printing processes.Digital design software extends and expands these earlier possibilities that were constrained by the physical limitations of typography by allowing the fluid conversion between letterforms and vectorized graphics, changes that facilitate an exploration of the boundaries between lettering and imagery.Included in this portfolio are examples of my work with typoems published by RedFox Press, Timglaset Editions, and the Post-Asemic Press; the book CMYK -52 Typoems
