With the web type-setting has kind of left the building. I think of data, presentation and type-setting. We want flowability with text due to device difference but we also want to have visual space, stops, pauses and goes.
Ancient writing is fascinating, regarding presentation. Writing is relatively new. Before writing we had symbols, oral traditions and the elements of nature teaching us. Like the beach pebbles, the sky at night had stars, planets, solar and lunar movements, and the Earth's rotation, tidal movements and wind.
The constellations are found in cave paintings. What's really mind blowing is the cave paintings of constellations are exactly oriented in the cave as if the sky was visible through the cave ceiling! Ancient people were by no means stupid. We still have those archetypical images embedded in our psyche. We still struggle to get the word out.
The advantage of the master of letters is that he can paint based on assumption, ignorance, luck and practice. He draws on two important principals. The feminine that the story comes from. The masculine that carries the story. The feminine that receives the story. The masculine that acts upon the story. Yin and Yang flow as breath, icons, receptions and insight.
