What began as an attempt to understand and define gradually became an open-ended inquiry. Answers gave way to new questions. The works move through shifting meanings and insights, embracing development as an ongoing process.

404*

This work emerges from an ongoing search for clarity. An attempt to understand, define, or capture something gradually shifts into a landscape of new questions. Each discovery opens another door; every sense of clarity creates space for new uncertainty.

Within this research, different influences come together. Calligraphic forms and the movement of the written sign play an important role, but are detached from their original meaning and approached instead as form, rhythm, and movement. Recognisable elements distort, shift, or disappear, moving between language and image.

Material, form, texture, and composition become ways of thinking. The works do not emerge from a fixed endpoint, but from a process of searching, experimenting, and looking again. What begins as an attempt to find meaning develops into an exploration of what emerges when meaning itself begins to shift.

About Jesse van der Jagt

My work begins with the line of a letter and expands into the unknown. I search for the moment a sign stops communicating as language and starts resonating as pure form through form and composition. Through canvas and fabric, I construct spaces where the void acquires its own visual vocabulary.
