Jantine Koppert:

The sound-reducing qualities of felt, my love for color, and the conviction that color has a beneficial effect on people enables me to create pieces that contribute to the well-being of people in manmade spaces.
These pieces cross boundaries between art and applied art, and between modern sculpting and the ancient craft of sewing. The intense color of the felt, the shadows created when it folds in on itself, and the graphic quality of the forms makes it ideally suited to my way of working.
My felt pieces are rooted in nature, not only nature’s inherent power and energy, but the ways in which man interacts with it and the myths we tell about it- all these inspire my work.”
