Artist Statement:
Vancouver artist Mia Weinberg
creates digital photograms
that call attention to the
tiniest fragments of organic
matter. She believes there is
potential in the microscopic
to reawaken us and bring us
face to face with something we
too often forget: that life on
this earth is full of wonder,
full of mystery. Her hope is
that these photograms will
help the viewer become
re-enchanted by the truly
marvellous in the everyday.
She is inspired by the
delicate details that reside
in the groves, gardens and
architectures of the smallest
corners of our world. She
often chooses to work with
botanical specimens that are
in the process of decay
because especially in their
passage through death, they
lead to regeneration, new
beginnings, and exhibit
extraordinary beauty....
