C. C. Elian Works in the Elian Script An alternative writing system |
|
End Notes 1. Letter Arts Review interview with C. C. Elian - PDF This article touches upon many of the elements that are central to my work. 2. The Elian script is a writing system that was independently developed by C.C. Elian. 3. "Ten Worst Listening Habits" written by Sharon M. Crawford, president of Forward Focus Consulting of Bellingham, Washington. 4. The term "conceptual calligraphy" was used earlier on until I realized that there could be many such writing systems based upon the concept of writing that is inherently aesthetic. At that point I named my writing system the Elian script. 5. For an introduction into the structure of the Elian script please see the section so entitled on this website. That booklet begins to address some of the working premises behind the development and practice of this writing system including its evolution from a code to a calligraphy. On the computer screen, a couple of the diagrams with right angle lines might appear crooked on the computer monitor. However, they do print out straight. At some point this material will be reformatted and incorporated into the Evolution and Variations of the Elian Script. 6. As of 2007 I am working off the exhibition grid and focusing on the next body of work. EducationExhibits
