Pia Zeugin writes in the Bieler Tagblatt: "...Mascha Mioni .... verarbeitete eine negative Lebensssituation einer Angehörigen mit einer installativen Figur mit ausladendem Kleid. Auf Leinwand hat sie die Gedanken und Tagebucheinträge jener Zeit hinterlassen und die Stücke an Fäden festgemacht. Die anderen Enden führen zum Rücken der Figur. Es kann sein, dass Mioni einerseits zeigt, wie sie das Negative hinter sich liess oder aber auch sich selbst eingesteht, die Erlebnisse immer noch als Ballast mittragen zu müssen. ..."
"...Mascha Mioni .... digested a negative experience of one of her relatives by installing a figure with a wide dress. She noted thoughts and diary-entries from that time on pages of linen and attached them with thread. The other ends lead to the back of the figure. Maybe she shows how she set the negative behind her or maybe she admits to herself, that she still has to carry these experiences with her. ..." (translation by the webmaster)

Oil on canvas and Art to Wear a the Museum Sursilvan, Cuort Ligia Grischa, Trun Until Oct 31st, 2007 Mascha Mioni shows her Art to Wear and matching oil paintings in the whole museum.
Mascha Mioni does not see a difference in artistic expression, whether she works on paper, creates an oil-painting on canvas, or colors silk for a dress. For decades it has been her mission to establish the creation of clothing as a form of art. By extending the process of painting on flat canvas to creating from the picture a human hull, she adds to her work a further dimension – the picture does not only become three-dimensional it is also filled with life. A painting, formed to a dress, can not only be viewed, you can enter the object of art, you can wrap yourself in it, put yourself into it.
