The Hermits’ Handshake (2023)

Quite a challenging and interesting commission, translating a philosophical correspondence between artist George Meertens and philosopher of culture Gerald Visser on Gelassenheit (‘releasement’), with references to Meister Eckhart and Martin Heidegger, to accompany a series of 24 paintings by Meertens exploring ‘this abyss of solitude’.
