B900. Words of Risk / Gullick
B900. Words of Risk: The Art of Thomas Ingmire
By Michael Gullick. 1989. 90pp. 65 illus., many in full color. 9" x 12". Paper
Using words as subjects, Ingmire's work has progressed from the transcription of texts to complex multi-layered visual statements. His juxtaposition of and interplay between words and images challenge the traditional role of calligraphy as "decorated writing." The book describes the work and working process of Ingmire and reproduces virtually all of his major pieces, many in full color.

B2614. Codici 1/Ingmire
Codici 1.
Edited by Thomas Ingmire. 2003. 64pp. 8.5"x11". Paper.
Ingmire is best known for his expressive -- and often
non-legible -- calligraphic works. This illustrated notebook
draws primarily from Ingmire's teaching. It presents the assignments, support materials, the works created by the students, as well as images and brief discussions of his own recent works that relate to the program. Topics include inventing new forms, lettering as drawing, the expressive line, the shape and space of writing, the word as image, Hans-Joachim Burgert: the calligraphic line, the space of
writing: the ditchling project. The emphasis is on a visual rather than a verbal message.

Sermon on the Mount Matthew
Artist: Thomas Ingmire. 15"x 22". Giclée print.
Thomas Ingmire has lettered the Beatitudes in a graceful vertical Roman. On the right he has a repetitive, jagged, and colorful treatment of the word "blessed." The letters are scattered randomly in a multicolored pattern, here and there
coming together to form the word. Together they express Jesus’ rich teaching in the Beatitudes.

"I wanted to show the power and promise of the
Commandments, showing them forming out of a beautiful
chaos. To reinforce the sense of abstraction, power and promise, I wanted the letters to be in the Latin alphabet and with use of typography." -Thomas Ingmire.

B4299. Visual Poetry / Ingmire
B4299. Visual Poetry: A Lyrical Twist -- Calligraphy and Poetry in Collaboration by Thomas Ingmire. 2018. 38pp. 8.5x11. Paper
This book documents a Visual Poetry project where eleven poets worked in collaboration with Thomas Ingmire. Responding to one or more of Thomas' works, the poets provided a poem to Thomas, who then reacted to the verses and poet-chosen music with spontaneous marks. Then, referencing the original artworks, the poems and poets' comments, and his initial studies, Thomas created a new calligraphic work of each poem, often creating a new alphabet. Each of the eleven collaborations are showcased in the book.
