Jorinde Voigt's new body of work On Reality, created in 2021 and 2022, continues the artist's investigation of using sculptural elements to expand on the medium of drawing. Using coloured paper, Voigt combines her visual vocabulary of drawing, writing and numbering with new techniques: By layering cut out shapes, and dispensing with any trace of drawing by replacing it with the cut of the scalpel, she creates compositions on the threshold between collage and assemblage. By introducing a third dimension to her conceptual works on paper Voigt finds a new way to further develop her notational systems of grids, line networks, and patterns that translate parameters such as distance, speed, or frequency into visual compositions. Featured are also sketch-like works that spontaneously transfer situational experiences into graphic gestures.
