| Ensign description.
This ensign may be applicable. It may be as a subject for meditation. This ensign breaks one-flatnessly human's mind. Unexpected question and rich rich colours set human's mind in unusual condition. A man, who sees at it, may to know mysterions and unrational thought of Great East. A cow is one of the ancientest symbols for East people. It is devoted for J.D. Salinger. M. Stepanov

| ...here is my emblem for you. Since a lot of years I signed my artwork
with a
little falcon. In 1993, working for the mailart exhibition "Animals in Mailart" at zoological Museum Hamburg almoust every night, my habit changed into a falcon ones like "merlin" in 4 th century was able to do sometimes. The falcon now is part of my sign: Merlin 98 , and of my japanese falcon mono I am using for my emblem stamped on Letters and Mailart works. So the Sender of this Art is identified without needing a senders adress. Greetings and all the best, visit www.geocities.com/Soho/Square/5392 MERLIN |

...My initial reaction to the interpretation of a contemporary 'emblem'
as you required was somewhat antithetical to what I perceived as the traditional one. The use of emblematic imagery, particulary those of the mailitary and the weaponry of war I oppossed. A series of old emblems entitled 'THE HONOURABLE ORDINARIES' were, I discovered most inspiring. The shield shape I saw as being used purely for its esthetic qualities, enabling further more abstract designs. This is where I saw my emblem arriving. Encorporating limited colours, enigmatic pre-millenial numerals, TWENTY ONE - 21e. with the use of domestic house paints new and old, keeping it simple with a sense of the majestic, something sublime to contemplate upon. Retrieving printerly qualities with the directly handprinted hay stacks, offer you my emblem object. ....... |
