The mark is the present moment of writing. It follows that if we give some thought to marks, we will also learn something about writing. The mark takes place in a certain space, from which it distinguishes itself. In George Spencer-Brown’s Laws of Form, a right-angle mark becomes the founding gesture for a study of distinction, space, and the relations between them. The Spencer-Brown mark is presented as the elegant minimum needed to convey the idea of “continence” or spatial enclosure. Repetitive attempts to enclose a space are evident in the earliest circular scribbles of children. Serge Tisseron suggests that, later on, filling the space of a page with words proceeds by a similar circularity: thoughts are thrown out from an elusive inner space and pulled back in the form of written lines. When words fail us, we may revert to marks—as in cases of graphomania, like those of Emma Hauk and Charles Crumb. The artist Irma Blank devoted a lifetime to exploring the nature of writing through various forms of marking. Her series titled Eigenschriften presents a ritually repeated act of self-making through the mark.
痕迹就是写作的当下。因此，如果我们对印记有所思考，我们也会对写作有所了解。记号发生在一定的空间中，并从中区分出自己。在乔治-斯宾塞-布朗（George Spencer-Brown）的《形式法则》（Laws of Form）中，一个直角标记成为研究区别、空间以及它们之间关系的基础姿态。斯宾塞-布朗的标记是传达 "连续性 "或空间围合概念所需的最优雅的标记。在儿童最早的圆形涂鸦中，就可以明显地看到对空间围合的重复尝试。塞尔日-蒂塞隆（Serge Tisseron）认为，后来用文字填充页面空间也是通过类似的循环进行的：思想从难以捉摸的内部空间抛出，又以书写线条的形式拉回。当文字失效时，我们可能会重拾记号--就像艾玛-豪克和查尔斯-克鲁姆的图形狂一样。艺术家伊尔玛-布兰克毕生致力于通过各种形式的标记来探索书写的本质。她的 "Eigenschriften "系列作品展示了一种通过标记进行自我创造的仪式性重复行为。
