October/November 2013 ALEPH and BELOW AS ABOVE SO
by Julia E. Babb

Julia Elizabeth Babb is a multi-disciplinary artist focusing on broad concepts and deeper philosophical meanings. A professional calligrapher’s daughter, Julia, developed an early love of letters and the letter arts and later understood the history and mystery behind them. These pieces then contribute to an ongoing conversation about letters, words, language, and ideas.

~~”Aleph” is a sort of portrait of the first letter of the alphabet, a celebration of and a meditation on the beginnings of things.

~~”Below As Above So” is a new twist on an old idea. Instead of being written across the page from left to right, the words are arranged so that they must be read up and down, or down and up depending on whether one begins reading from the left side or the right.
