Description
Vicuña writes: “Chanccani Quipu reinvents the concept of ‘quipu,’ the ancient system of ‘writing’ with knots, transforming it into a metaphor in space; a book/sculpture that condenses the clash of two cultures and worldviews: the Andean oral universe and the Western world of print.” Each quipu was produced entirely by hand, printed on unspun wool using stencils, and knotted by the poet. Box by Susan Mills, and printing by Silicon Gallery Fine Art Prints.
