About the Item

Materials: Drenth Heath, Raw Silks, Merino, Siks Organza Claudy Jongstra is known worldwide for her monumental artworks and architectural installations, whose organic surfaces and nuanced tones reflect Jongstra’s masterful innovations in the ancient technique of making wool felt. Jongstra’s oeuvre, often installed in large public spaces, is included in many international museums as well as private and corporate collections. In 2001, Jongstra established her studio in Friesland, a rural northern province of The Netherlands, where she began a sweeping ecological experiment carried out in the local landscape. Maintaining a flock of rare, indigenous Drenthe Heath sheep (the oldest breed in Northern Europe) and cultivating a specialized historic botanical dye collection garden, Jongstra creates a completely sustainable chain culminating in her artworks. As Jongstra’s artistic practice expands, so too does the impact on her region. Collaborating with local farms, schools, universities and social initiatives, and drawing on a deep respect for the interwoven narratives of people, land, and tacit knowledge, Jongstra actively reimagines and revitalizes the local landscape from monocultural production toward a more diverse, inclusive, and ecologically-just model.

  • Woven Skin D3-3
    By Claudy Jongstra
    Located in AMSTERDAM, NH
    Materials: Drenthe Heath and merino wool, mohair, silk, cotton and linen, naturally-dyed with organic pigments including madder, cochineal, logwood, St John’s wort and walnut. The panels are hung with oak bark tanned leather strips in steel frames. After three years of traveling and manifesting itself the time has come to say goodbye to Woven Skin in its original form as an art installation and nomadic forum consisting of 60 hanging panels to be placed together in changing constellations and harboring essential global dialogue. Jongstra’s urgent message demanding attention for topics concerning ecology, colour and community will be continued in a new work of art and concept that will be revealed at the end of 2021.
