MIA
        BROWN-                
              SEGUIN

   









Mia Brown-Seguin is a papermaker and sculptor who explores parallels between identity, human connection, and environmental systems. Working in traditional methods of craft, she creates handmade paper vessels and abstracted forms. In her practice, she reflects on space-time paths, and life trajectories, referencing tangential imagery of non-human forms. Her work often relates to
cyclical bodies including pods, eggs, and seeds.
