Art
The wool-felted artwork Terre et Ciel (Earth and Sky) takes its title from the surroundings where it was recently installed; the private client's house in the French town of Tourtour. Studio Claudy Jongstra was inspired by the dark earth in the immediate area where many truffles grow and by the clear, bright and sunny sky.

As if you look deep down from high rough rocks and see a clear blue sea with tiny foam heads. The waves are colliding against the shore with a repeating soothing rhythm. Purifying Energetic Waves is the suitable title of the work recently placed in a private clients' home.
Thursday the 13th of July, Claudy Jongstra's exhibition Circulos Naturales opened in an extraordinary location on the Spanish island of Menorca. In the outdoor space of Galería Aina Nowack in San Luís, the artist displays some twenty artworks made of felted wool from Drenthe Heath Sheep, dyed with natural plant pigments.
