^{ROPE

Rope is a handmade rope of 60m long and 28cm thick. It
weighs 196 kg. Rope is too big to be used as a rope. Nevertheless, 'use' is its
purpose. Spincemaille travels around with Rope and tries to embed it
temporarily in places and local communities. Although Rope always remains an
impenetrable and elusive part of reality, its mere presence makes the world
visible in a new way. During these trips Rope writes a journal. The journals
can be consulted on www.rope.blue/journal.

In addition to Rope, Atelier Ief Spincemaille also creates hand-woven Ropes of 12 and 6 meters.
