The Opening Reception of Erin Eldred’s “Fabricate” is Thursday, October 1 at 6 p.m. at Institute 193.

“Erin Eldred talks to fibers, and they talk back—so to speak. She describes her process as an immediate dialogue between herself and her materials. Lately, Eldred says she works mostly on looms (which she builds herself), stating that that the very nature of weaving lends itself to making intuitive decisions. Fibers build on top of one another, and she continually adjusts to their evolving configurations.”
