Dryland
The Dutch landscape is associated with large amounts of water, splashing ducks, green linear grass fields, grazing cows, dikes, many canals and of course windmills.
It becomes hard to imagine that a silent and slow dehydration is taking place. Even locals are not yet aware of this silent killer known as a ‘drought’. The story of desiccation is a tricky one because the interests of different parties are diverse.
With Dryland, Liselot Cobelens investigated how dehydration arose in the Netherlands. Four consequences are translated into an impressive wool carpet and installation. This carpet consists of eight different colour combinations that mimic a grass landscape.
The carpet is for sale as a collector's item within an interior. Each version of Dryland becomes unique and is costum-made due to the actions taken
by the designer after production. Contact the designer for the prices and possibilities.
The installation of dryland is also available for loan. To explain the drought.
A booklet about Dryland and its resesearch is available and can be bought for 25 euros excl. shipping costs.
