Sarah Jonker’s drawing are poetically theatrical. Her dark, absurd universe is jam-packed with detached limbs and blatant sexuality. Created in india ink, crayon, and ecocline, her compositions conjure elements of surrealism and postexpressionism. But more importantly, they’ll make you laugh and desire to be a statue.
