Mia Kaplan
I make sculpture, containers, utensils, and jewelry. The sculptures I make are often a collage of mechanical objects, industrial architecture, and repeating symbolism. I often incorporate movable parts such as an arrow attached to a spring, a charm that dangles on a brooch, or a spinning pinwheel. If the piece is utilitarian, my aim is for it to be comfortable, easy to use, and satisfying. The materials I use are mostly brass, copper, and silver. My work addresses questions I want to ask of the world, emotions I try to process in my own life, and memories that are dear to me.
