Jo Hummel-Newell
Jo’s work is concerned with collage and the immediacy of spontaneous drawing. She is fascinated by handwriting, children’s scribbles and telephone doodles and she strives to maintain that spontaneity in her work. Pasted found notes or manuscripts
are occasionally used because of her anthropological interest towards mark making. Collecting printed and handwritten ephemera is an important part of her creative process and this often dictates the subject matter. Her ‘drawing collages’ are best compared to the pages in a book, constructed from detailed marks and materials imploring a need to be held and viewed intimately.
