Eliza Weber’s work explores interconnectedness and materiality in a variety of mediums including ceramic, paper, found objects, and fibers. Individual pieces and installations become abstracted reflections of the world around us, influenced by the curation of domestic places and the management of natural spaces. Her works span installation, decorative, and functional, acknowledging the ways in which objects, the self, and others occupy space.
