In a Frisian village, situated on a mound, stands a stelp farmhouse renovated under architecture. Commissioned by the owners, Claudy Jongstra created a series of three tapestries. The wool-felted natural landscapes refer to the different viewing directions from the space and are inspired by the surroundings: the water, the skies, the light, the passing clouds and the colours.
