Flocks,
installation by Christien Meindertsma at Dyckman Farmhouse
Flocks is
an installation by contemporary Dutch designer Christien Meindertsma.
Her work explores issues of consumerism, commenting on the production
process and the lost connection between farmer and final consumer.
Flocks is the result of her work with one farmer in Wales to
create a clothing collection from one entire flock of distinctly
wooly sheep. Each piece is created from the wool of a single
sheep and includes a detailed biography of the animal. The pieces
will be installed within the period rooms, presenting an intriguing
combination of past and present.
