A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History

A weaving of sedimented time.

For this project, ten old weavings—each dating back to each century of the last millennia, each coming from distant places in the world, have been unknitted and consequently reassembled into a new weaving.
Hence, the oldest weaving taken apart to be integrated is a thousand years old.

Chimú weaving (nowadays Peru).
Aprox. 1,000 CE

A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History embodies the sedimentation of untold kinships. It knots together distant histories by a new sense of ‘universalism’ beyond the linear traps of colonialism.

The project ran from 2018 to 2021 and materialized as a series in which each piece explored a different material possibility, scale, or reconfiguration of the disentangled yarns.
