Mia Mai (b.1997, Leeds) is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher whose work spans sculpture, installation, weaving and image-making.
​
Whilst working across mediums and disciplines, Mia’s practice is primarily engaged with the interrogation, manipulation and interpretation of objects and materials, particularly of which are handmade, naturally occurring and embedded in the everyday. Her research will often explore those that are found, unseen, displaced, excavated, collected or archived.
​
Interested in the notion that objects and materials have the capacity to trace human experience and ecological landscapes across time and place, Mia has a desire to create work which exists within, between and for both our built and natural world.
​
Mia’s current and on-going research is engaged with ideas of preservation, between the public and the private, the natural and the constructed, Mia is interested in the ways in which our material world can mirror our ways of living, act as witnesses to our daily lives, and above all; remind us that we are part of a much larger network.
