"Aitch: Why Down's syndrome awareness is so important"
After an eventful year with an #IntercontinentalMove from #StockholmUniversity back to #UniGraz, a lot of #ups, but also several #downs, I will see my #LabBench again next year, hopefully #WellRested and with a lot of #NewIdeas!
Happy #WinterHolidays and/or #MerryChristmas!

Eventually, with all the experiments with #scanned #textures, #texturedtext, and #collageart the penny dropped. My experiments with deconstructed text actually were part of an #art genre, #asemicwriting. As it happens, my daughter is a #Downs person. She has communication difficulties, but one of the things she enjoys doing is writing-printing out word lists, sentences , and a variety of texts. She produces so much, I incorporated them in the scanned #collages. #asemicart
