Hummel’s Automatic paintings function as a psychologically exploratory activity, wherein conscious intention and decision regarding the formal aspects of the work might be or beget behaviours and artefacts upon which an intimate reading of unconscious influence may be made. Every day is an expedition of intimate, intense, and unrelenting self-research through which Hummel seeks to better know herself.
Practical automatism plays a key role. Those periods that span the momentary constructions of the paintings, as she shifts sheets, shapes, and shades here and there, are visible evidence from which she endeavours to deduce invisible cause. Waiting for or compelling visual balance to make itself known, she pursues process instinctively, seeking to tap into a raw, pre-lingual form of visual communication that may map the wilderness of the subconscious by fragments and allow for a piecing together of its undeniable influence on wakeful activity.
