Shore Line by Claudy Jongstra, winner at the Carpet Design Awards 2014 will be included in Earth Matters at Artipelag, Stockholm, curated by Li Edelkoort.
Earth Matters: When Natural & Creative Forces Meet, an exhibition curated by Lidewij Edelkoort and Philip Fimmano runs 6 February to 3 May 2015 at Artipelag Art Gallery, Värmdö, Stockholm, Sweden.
“This young century has brought about a moment of reflection and radical change, making up for a century of ecological abuse, consumption, greed and violence. For the first time, a post-fossil society is emerging, using natural ingredients, offering alternatives and giving us hope for the future.” – Lidewij Edelkoort
Claudy Jongstra, Shore Line
