Description
" ... a modern interpretation of the 5,000 year-old quipu, which recorded the literature of the Incas on knotted cords. It ... embodies the intention and essence of a poem by Vicuña translated into English by the poet along with Jerome Rothenberg. Accompanying Chanccani Quipu is a full-color signed drawing inserted into a pamphlet entitled Instruction Manual & Orientation to Various Meanings"--Publisher description.
" ... produced and published by Granary Books in an edition of 32 copies each made entirely by hand. The poem was "printed" on unspun wool using stencils made by the poet who also knotted the threads. The quipu is tied or bound to a 16 inch bamboo spine from which it hangs to about 48 inches when installed. The work is housed in a hand-stenciled box (18 1/2 x 18 1/4 x 4 inches) made by Susan Mills. Silicon Gallery Fine Art Prints in Philadelphia printed the drawing and the pamphlet in full-color. Cecilia Vicuña and Jerome Rothenberg signed the edition of 32 numbered copies"--Publisher description.
