Christien Meindertsma - Thomas Eyck - Extension cord - t.e. 071, Vlas Verlengsnoer 10 meter

Christien Meindersma's extension cord combines her contemporary handwriting in perfect harmony with the traditional Dutch 16th century rope industry. By analysing the history of this craft, she has reduced the rope to the original Dutch material: flax. With the help of flax, the filaments are spun into flax yarns, after which they are turned into strands. Meindertsma's fresh and innovative approach to the very old technology results in this extension cord, among others. The extension cord is included in the permanent collection of Zuiderzeemuseum Enkhuizen, among others
