Using dry-transfer lettering, Derek Beaulieu made these concrete pieces by hand, building the images gesturally in response to shapes and patterns in the letters themselves. This is poetry closer to architecture and design than confession, in which letters are released from their usual semantic duties as they slide into unexpected affinities and new patterns. Kern highlights the gaps inside what we see and what we know, filling the familiar with the singular and the just seen with the faintly remembered. 610 $avisual poetry 610 $adry-transfer lettering 610 $aasemic writing 610 $alanguage art 610 $asignage 610 $aadvertising 610 $agraphic art 700 $aBeaulieu$b Derek$01733357 712 02$apunctum books, 801 0$b$aUkCbTOM$beng 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910745577603321 996 $aKern$94149113 997 $aUNINA
