The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME
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 jacquard loom, Weiner’s codes are then translated and handwoven into physical warp and weft as bodies again begin to appear in the form of a tapestry.
Mia Weiner was born in Chicago, IL in 1991. The artist received an MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois in 2020 and a BFA in Fiber from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2013.
