MIA WEINER
b. 1991, United StatesMia Weiner (b. 1991, Chicago, IL) weaves monochromatic tapestries based on her own photographs. Her imagery begins by considering slight physical sensations such as the feeling of a knee crossed over a leg, a deep breath, or what it feels like to float in water. Pictorially, Weiner’s work disrupts stable network relationships such as plant systems (stems/leaves), muscle relationships (head/neck), or elementals (land/sea/air). Although she works with a digitally assisted jacquard loom, guided by intuition, Weiner retains her ability to make adjustments to color or yarn, manipulate tension, or insert odd materials into the weavings resulting in a collaboration between human and computer.
