Miller's paintings explore the intersection between mythology, ecology
and humanism. Visually inspired by baroque and Hellenistic narrative
painting they take a polytheistic approach to contemporary folklore,
questions of progress and the experience of human narrative in the face
of technological change and the struggle to find meaning in a world
poised between expansion and decay. Miller's work is mannerist in it's
use of the human form as a vehicle of feeling and thought beyond the
literal representation of a particular person.[no-sidebar]
