"For all its seriousness, de Kort’s work wields a no less understated sense of humor. Incidentally, it is perhaps not a coincidence that there are so many circles in her name– as if the depictions of circles were but veiled self-portraits, when in fact that circle functions as a cipher, liable to contain anything and nothing at once. The artist is fully aware of how charged and potentially misleading these forms are. Their capacity for comedy seems as inexhaustible as their innocence is incontestable, sort of like, well, clowns– which they are not obviously. Just circles (which are never just circles)."
