Esther Jiskoot creates hybrid forms that exist between a primordial and futuristic state, which seek to explore the relation between bodies and minds and the world they inhabit. Their sensual aura transmits ideas of vulnerability and quests for vitalism. Mechanisms on survival, support, coping and avoiding, reveal an inability and unceasing drive how to deal with live and dead, are often at the core of her work. By shaping and deforming contrasting materials, she investigates human behavior that tries to find a form between primal instincts/nature and culture. She addresses the viewer on an intuitive sensory level. As a sculptor, her interest lies in the alarming splendor of the imperfect as a sign of humanity.
