Known for her large-scale drawings that draw on music, philosophy, and phenomenology, Jorinde Voigt’s practice is an attempt to create a single representational schema of movement, time, form, perception, and science. Her cryptic and organised compositions, which she describes as ‘creating instructions for the imagination’ and resemble sound waves, algorithms, and complex notation systems, explore the natural rhythms that drive the dynamics of human perception, questioning concepts such as reality, truth, and knowledge. Drawing on paper using traditional materials such as ink, oil, pencil, and watercolour, as well as other media such as collage and sculpture, Voigt creates process-oriented works that strike a balance between the complexity of modern life and the human perceptual experience, which serve as philosophical models that help the artist to grasp the essence of the world.
