Yvonne van den Herik harnesses indian ink and a brush to create her unique drawings on paper. Recently, she has also ventured into tape-drawings, utilizing self-made tape on paper and XL-sized surfaces like walls and windows.
Her monochromatic works are a result of blending snippets from her previous drawings, visual notes, and explorative photographs- much like a DJ samples pre-recorded music. The lines, shapes, and (a)rhythms are born from a direct, physical, and visually intuitive process, as she switches between traditional paper and a digital tablet. Thinking and creating intertwine, as her eye and hand work as one.
Through constant innovative interventions, like connecting and disconnecting, or ‘adding and subtracting’, she challenges perception and visual thinking in her freehand drawing process.
