Mia Wen Hsuan Liu

Graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2007, and in the same year, she enrolled in CUNY Hunter College’s Graduate School of Art. She likes to draw freely, and is particularly mesmerized by the unique textures created by drawing on different papers; therefore, she loves to discover different papers from her everyday life to use as her creative medium, and the medium itself also leads to the inspiration for her installation works. The process also goes on to form the clear emergence of her creative theme. By contemplating on a break-through way of working with flat and 3-dimensional structures, Mia Liu has produced a series of drawings that have superseded 2-dimension, and she calls them “installation drawings”. The work, “I am Mia Liu”, originates from her experience of working in the Visitor Services of the Guggenheim Museum New York. Using the tickets of the museum as the medium, the artist attempts to alter a daily object’s pre-existing meaning. The work transforms flat drawings into something of multi-perspectives through individual images and visual effects. She also attempts to use her English signature to replace drawing, and the outcome is not only a drawing, but is also a further step in indicating to the viewers the artist’s individual dream.
