Francisco echo Eraso is an interdisciplinary craft artist, educator and access worker. He is obsessed with the color gold, liberation theology, and listening to ghosts. His work plays on the construction of value through reproductions of gold and allusions to textiles as a form of currency. In his woven textile installations, experimental video work and somatic movement practice he weaves together the interrelated legacies of extractive capitalism, ornamentation, labor, alchemy, healing and repatriation.
