I am a self-taught interdisciplinary artist on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ(Tsleil-Waututh) nations (Vancouver, BC). Originally from a prairie farming community, my experience is interpreted through this contrast and connection.

At the heart of my practice is the discovery, exploration ands transformation of materials that make up my sculpture, installation, drawing and photography work. My process is based on studied physical interaction with materials in unfamiliar combinations. This is my way of dismantling the past to manifest the present. 

"Wiebeʼs compositions bear traces of small incremental actions and intuitive leaps, which push the constituent elements beyond their common usage and form. Consequently her work is both familiar and strange. The resulting tension is reflective of Wiebeʼs acuity in balancing proportion and scale, texture and sensory relationships. However, what remains incalculable and most intriguing about Wiebeʼs work hinges upon the artist’s fidelity to the materials she employs. Rather than engineer a transformation or conceit, Wiebeʼs work pursues something inherently mysterious in the objects and materials, which comprise her installations. Wiebe considers and shapes each component of her work, without obscuring a link its origin, contributing to a singular experience of otherwise ubiquitous elements. The work asks us to consider what new relationship we have to these objects or materials once they have been pushed beyond their intended use or capacity? What do we re-cognize? What is our relationship to this new thing?"
