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.

RECORDING 1 (05/03-05/10)

May 2024



Handwoven cotton, safety pins, cloth nametags
18” x 110”
A piece of cloth woven using Recording Interface for Pair Of Weavers. The weaving documents the loom’s debut at the 2024 VCUArts GDES Senior Exhibition. I sat and wove with 26 people over the course of the week, and this cloth is a direct translation of the time spent and the conversations had with each of them.

The cloth is a proof of concept of the loom’s ability to act as a tool for capturing physical records of place and community, and served as a learning experience for all involved.

Technical information:
Warp/Weft: 10/2 cotton, all wefts dyed by Justin Cockrell
Sett: 24epi
2 blocks of improvised treadlings on a 4-shaft straight draw.
