Sara Mertens: Material Fatigue
Eighteen young Flemish and Dutch authors have taken inspiration from seventeenth-century artefacts from the Rijksmuseum. Looking at these objects, what eureka moments do they see? Sara Mertens created a graphic story in response to an ivory statue of what is thought to be Diana, made by Jean Goujon. ‘[I] see a statue, of a woman, crackled, as if she’s trying to escape.’
