Jo Hummel’s work is deeply rooted in reductionism, evident through symbols and geometry. This exploration of minimalism mirrors ancient spiritual concepts such as Sunya, the Sanskrit term for void and infinity, which speaks to the balance between emptiness and possibility.
Also evident is her interest in the principles of sacred geometry, natural cycles and human rituals. Colour assumes a pivotal role in Hummel’s work, valued both for its subjective sensory impact and its psychologically transcending qualities.
Created using primitive building methods such as weaving, marquetry, joinery, and layering, the sculptural paintings are formed through a careful balance of shape, colour, form, and material, generating a fragmented spectrum of the human condition.
