Jo Hummel

Jo Hummel’s work is rooted in reductionism, expressed through symbols and geometry. Her minimalist exploration reflects ancient spiritual ideas such as Sunya, the Sanskrit term for void and infinity, evoking a balance between emptiness and potential. Her practice also reflects interest in sacred geometry, natural cycles, and human rituals.

Colour plays a vital role, valued for its sensory and transcendent qualities. Hummel describes paper—her primary material—as domestic and ephemeral, manipulated urgently with scissors and knives.

Using primitive techniques like weaving, marquetry, joinery, and layering, her sculptural paintings balance shape, colour, and material, revealing a fragmented spectrum of the human condition. The collage-based process keeps each work in flux. Through ritual systems and repetition, she explores spontaneity, with each piece offering a personal, subconscious journey within formal abstraction.

Studied at the Royal College of Art.
