IRISH ARTIST AND DIRECTOR
CURRENTLY WORKING AND RESEARCHING IN NEW YORKWeber examines the concepts of being and becoming, through film and performance works, textiles, and sound compositions.
Responding to sites and environments, Weber captures tales of rhythmic behaviours, micro-evolutions and habitual absurdities.
With a deep exploration of world-making and materiality, she creates intricate and textured landscapes, merging hand-made and technological methods to create mutated and self-reflexive forms.
Recent projects include the film launch and screening of ‘The Supremacy of Mathematical Dreaming’ with IMMA (Irish Museum of Modern Art), Dublin (2023), ‘Fensive’ screening at iidrr gallery, New York (2023), ‘Hek Hek Hoo’ a collaboration with RHA Kids for IPUT’s Living Canvas at Wilton Park, Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) (2023).
