Saskia van Dijk (1960) was educated at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. It was no surprise that she chose this, as in her youth she lived in a house with a monumental printing press and which was full of etchings, drawings and paintings.
Besides drawing and painting, in recent years she has mainly been busy making zinc boxes containing knitted insect shapes, derived from bumblebees, dragonflies, caterpillars, grasshoppers and the like. The boxes fitted with glass panes are made of old etching plates, on which the structures are still clearly visible. The reason for the creation of the insect boxes is Saskia’s interest in museum biological collections with boxes in which insects and their labels are arranged in rows.
