Mia Rimmer is a Milwaukee-based artist and curator digging in archives, crates, and occasionally the nose. Their multidisciplinary practice utilizes personal and heritage material histories to examine themes of remembrance and permanence. Through analog collage and the pen, they activate nostalgia as a speculative tool for imploding and reconstructing memories.
