“The work starts from scratch: empty, meaningless. There is no such thing as a preconceived plan, not an image to match. Detachment of the picture. My paintings are abstract. I model the material into an unknown space”. Derrida’s philosophy of deconstructivism is a good comparison. ‘The meaning of texts can only exist by all the earlier read texts. Without these earlier texts you are not able to understand this last text. All this knowledge is stored in the margin (or in the head).’”
“I figure this out in images”. Abstract, trying to find new spaces, constructed in the non-exiting parts in the painting. In the beginning the canvas was empty. Jessica Muller creates with color and paint (her handwriting) a new and visual space in which distance and near- ness are synchronous. ‘The work starts from zero: emptiness, meaningless- ness, without any preconception, nor is there a preconceived image to aim at’, Jessica explains. And ‘The whole work is a timeless ‘being’, originated from a piling up of instantaneous actions which together are to be its opposite: timeless or limitless. The result is a view into different dimensions at the same time.”
“It is the territory of emptiness, of not knowing. Here one meets one's intuition which is unpredictable and indomitable. The intuition determines the angle of incidence of the actions - the snapshots - and together with my professional observation and judgement the ultimate result, the painting.”
