Eric Archer
Inaugural SOMOS Contributor-in-Residence
2026 Solar Cycle
Eric returns to SOMOS throughout 2026 and 2027 as our inaugural Contributor in Residency — a season-long relationship unfolding across each turning point of the solar year, from equinox to solstice.
Eric Archer Condevaux Dahlberg is an interdisciplinary artist, musician, poet, and teacher whose work explores creativity as a practice of presence, relationship, and belonging. Moving fluidly between music, woodcarving, painting, spoken word, and meditation, Eric draws deeply from the natural world and the places where artistic traditions meet. At the heart of his work is a belief in creative expression as something we can practice together: a way of becoming more attentive, more alive, and more available to one another.
