BTV/LFK

Eric is a queer, interdisciplinary weaver and designer. They aim to explore the meanings and implications embedded in woven cloth through its production. Their work is about the making, the connections between weaver and product, loom as interface, cloth as body, warmth, and the self. Eric creates objects meant to be used, loved, destroyed, and mended.
