my way to visual poetry

MY FIRST VISPOS

I don't remember why I made these, or where the idea came from but after this experiment I saw an article about Nurous in Valo-supplement / Aamulehti







and the ideas from the magazine remained lingering in my mind but it took nearly one and a half years until I tried again...

The article from Valo somehow appeared again in front of my eyes during february 2008 and I had already for quite a some time wanted to do something other than just write plaintext poems, so I went looking to find addional information about "nurous".

I put that search-term in google and found a wide variety of works by Jukka-Pekka Kervinen and Marko Niemi.

I was very excited! After that I made my first vispos. They were very simply and minimalistic: based on letters, marks, format and shape.
