We’re thrilled to feature Mia Upton, one of the incredible talents participating in this month’s exhibition at Cista Arts.

About work: Mia Upton’s woven series is a study of past and present, permanence and impermanence, value and waste. Created from cashmere using soft black and white-cream yarn sourced from industry waste, the pieces transform discarded material into intricate compositions that capture the fleeting textures of city life. Through Jacquard weaving, Upton merges photography, illustration, and textile craftsmanship to explore overlooked urban spaces and the quiet moments that define them.
