Elly de Jong made this sculpture from cor-ten steel. She gets her inspiration from the nearby polder, De Ronde Hoep, where she lives and works. Elly creates her art in an investigative way with various materials, such as steel, stone, wood, glass, bronze porcelain, plastic, epoxy. She hungers for new materials with every piece she creates.
According to admirers, her work has humour, and she’s quite happy with this assessment. Her work, much like her materials and stature, are very diverse, but mainly figurative.
