“Slowness means to me, and to the practice, and the studio, that [it's] all about time, and what is so interest[ing] is that, when we see a product, that we never experience the processes of making.” - Claudy Jongstra

“So presenting, myself as an engaged company, or a studio, means also that we work with a lot of colours very famous to the Netherlands, very much related to the Netherlands. For example, the madder was used by Rubens, and Rembrandt, Vermeer. I mean this is very important because by growing them, people from restoration in the museum world, they come to us also for research reasons because if they want to restore a painting like that, I mean, where is the knowledge? Where do they grow? And it's very important, also in that sense for that kind of legacy, not only by showing them, but also for science to maintain these kinds of vegetation. ...So it's very important to us, to revive that kind of knowledge.” - Claudy Jongstra

"I think we will implement a lot of these groups who have no access to high elite or art, or food, or vitality, or aesthetics. So it's a moment also, an opportunity when you do a program also in a large-scale setting where you can also inspire the teachers or people who can also give it again to the people they work with.” - Claudy Jongstra

“I think doing this program and also doing the Moments of Intervention program that we met so many groups that were under the radar. And it felt, for me, that I would like to scale that up and I felt a need. I mean, how can you approach a bigger group of people who have no relationship to what I am doing? And it can give an impulse, it can make an impact." - Claudy Jongstra
