Jorinde Voigt was born in 1977 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. She lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

Working principally within the medium of drawing, her works have been likened to musical scores, scientific diagrams, or notational thought models. Using a precisely coded system of mark making, the artist gives pictorial form to an array of natural or psychological phenomena.

In a recent series, Voigt has applied her unique visual method in the deconstruction of works of literature and philosophical texts, highlighting specific words and passages that resonate with her. Voigt deems that language alone fails to adequately describe the complexities of what she perceives around her, and it is in her art that she finds a means to visually express her personal experience of the world.

Using a ruler and bright colours, artist Jorinde Voigt creates spiralling lines, intersecting across white canvasses and marked with words, outlining her thought processes. She invites Crane.tv into her studio on Hackescher Markt in Berlin. Voigt's work has been exhibited at The Jerusalem Centre for the Visual Arts in Israel and the Watermill Centre in New York.
