Mia Weiner examines the psychology of human relationships, gender, and identity through intimate, technical, and often laborious applications of textiles and fibers. In Weiner’s works bodies meet, cross, and tangle, in domestic spaces, outdoors, and floating with the realm of daydream or abstraction. Weiner offers a unique perspective on the possibility of image-making. Beginning with photographs she takes of friends and models, Weiner digitally combines limbs and spaces before converting an image into matrices of pulsating weave patterns. Most often working with a digital jacquard loom, Weiner’s codes are then translated into physical warp and weft as bodies again begin to appear in the form of a tapestry. Weiner received her MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago and her BFA in Fiber from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Weiner’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at venues including The Suburban in Milwaukee, WI; Masur Museum of Art in Monroe, LA; James Center for the Arts in Woodstock, NY; Arc Gallery and LVL3 in Chicago, IL; CULT Bureau in Oakland, CA; Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami, FL; Grunwald Gallery of Art in Bloomington, IN; and the Barrett Art Center in Poughkeepsie, NY. Weiner currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
