Flor de cuatro pétalos
Linen double woven textile
2024

Flor de cuatro pétalos is designed after ‘60’s fiber artist Leonore Tawney’s cross weavings also titled "Four Petal Flower". The installation is made as a double-cloth or double-woven textile with alternating moiré overshot and balanced cross patterns in red and yellow. The cross serves as an ongoing motif in Eraso’s work relating to the dualities of life - the “both-and”. To the Red Cross paraphernalia ornamenting his late abuelito’s home, to questions of care, healing and faith, of remembering and forgetting, of origins and anoriginality and of the im/possibilities of return, of deep longings for a past, for a place, for an explanation, for an end.
