I’m drawn to rope because of seeing it washed up on beaches and wondering what it used to tie up/be tied to. I made garments with rope as a form of disassembly, but also a lifeline in case of need. Quipu was created as a method of communication between far off places. Somehow, rope just has this silent expression that it’s a practical thing; it traverses nations and talks about what it is no matter where you’re from or what language you speak. Where it is used for Quipu as an abacus, it’s utilised for us as macramé pot holders! Versatility...
