Interview by Viveka van de Vliet with artist and eco-activist Claudy Jongstra for Bouwwereld #5 in the Material Innovator section. A conversation about wool, biodynamic farmers, non polinated seeds, Drenthe Heath Sheep, art, dye plants, biodiversity, activism, and -international- collaborations.
Bergen, located at the edge of the forest and close to the beach, is a place where art, culture and nature come together. This inspired Studio Claudy Jongstra to create the wool-felted work entitled: 'Landcape in Bergen'.
