Rachel Mica Weiss (b. Rockville, MD, 1986) is a sculptor and installation artist based in the Hudson Valley. Rachel Mica Weiss received a B.A. in Psychology from Oberlin College in 2008 and continued on to complete her M.F.A at the San Francisco Art Institute in 2012. She received the 2011 Murphy & Cadogan Fellowship in 2011. After her studies, Weiss relocated to New York City.

Using a mix of thread, rope, metal, wood, rocks, urethane and concrete expressed across a prismatic hand-dyed color palette, Rachel Mica Weiss allocates her bold fusions of space and structure into artistic categories she labels Topographies, Arches, Folds, Portraits, Frameworks, Thread Installations and Unbounded.

Rachel Mica Weiss work reconstitutes various boundaries—architectural, topographical, and psychological—to demonstrate their impact upon us. Her sculptures, often scaled to the human body, combine the visual language of textiles with the density of stone and cast forms—components that balance uneasily, vie for dominance, or are inextricably intertwined. Weiss’s work draws attention to the constraints within our physical and psychological spaces, asking us to reimagine those so-called barriers as flexible, passable, porous.
