If something is not there, does it mean that it does not exist? Does a mark on a page signify veracity, and what happens when that mark is erased? Can a new entity emerge, one that is formed out of absence and yet is palpably present?

When I look at the work of Tjibbe Hooghiemstra, it strikes me that maybe the essence of drawing is the line exploring thought.
Sean O’Hagan, London 2011
Quote
Tjibbe Hooghiemstra looks for moments of contemplation, silence and tranquillity. Nowhere in his work is there a trace of expressive or visual noise or obtrusive overstatement. Moreover, Hooghiemstra’s work is not a direct reflection of what he actually sees, but much more the artist’s own perception of his observations.

Quote
What struck me most was the silence. It was a great silence, unlike any I have encountered on Earth, so vast and deep that I began to hear my own body: my heart beating, my blood vessels pulsing, even the rustle of my muscles moving over each other seemed audible. There were more stars in the sky than I had expected.
