felted wool
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.
Urtica de Vijfsprong is a biodynamic farm and an anthroposophic living and housing community on a visit at Studio Claudy Jongstra where working with wool is soothing and healing. From washing and processing the wool to harvesting the dye plants and colouring the wool, the outcome is always surprising and magical. Marit Geluk made the short film 'De kracht van wol'.
