Works
Biography
summer night, 2023
Mia Weiner (b.Chicago, IL 1991) 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 Anat Ebgi Gallery and OCHI
Projects in Los Angeles, CA; 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; Christie’s in Beverly Hills, CA; Grunwald Gallery of Art in Bloomington,
IN; and the Barrett Art Center in Poughkeepsie, NY.
Weiner currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
