“My art began by disappearing. I made an offering for the sea to erase.The waves weave our breath, in, out.Dissolving gives life to what comes next.My quipus are impossible weavings. Not spun, not plied. They simply hang.Their knots are loose and about to fall off.Nothing holds them together, except desire.Quipus are a metaphor for the union of all.They were forbidden in 1583, yet they went on undercover, still weaving our breath. My first quipu was The quipu that remembers nothing. I was offering my desire for memory.”— Cecilia Vicuña on Disappeared QuipuInstallation view, Cecilia Vicuña: Disappeared Quipu, Brooklyn Museum, May 18, 2018 through November 25, 2018.
