Claudy Jongstra

Her oeuvre consists of much more, however. In addition to monumental installations in various public buildings in the Netherlands and the United States, her work can be found in private and museum collections, for example the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the MoMA in New York and San Francisco and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.  

Jongstra focuses not only on sustainability, biodiversity, ecology and research, but also on the preservation of tacit knowledge, on inclusiveness and on community. Her travelling installation 'Woven Skin' draws attention to these essential values for the sake of humanity and the Earth. Jongstra actively seeks out scientists and entrepreneurs. She also shares knowledge, for example with the Farm of the World foundation near her home in Friesland.
