Andrew Miller
Andrew Miller‘s work has spanned various media including: sculpture, photographs, site-specific installations and drawing. It has been presented in contexts such as: gallery exhibitions, public art commissions, and new build projects with architects. In the production of work he endeavours to open up the potential for ambiguity between notions of form and function. Through a continual process of drawing, altering, transforming and making he strives to gain an understanding of the inventive and intuitive placement of objects. His work attempts to instigate a curiosity in, and affection for, the discarded, worn and redundant, through appropriation and reframing. To look and to look again; to salvage, assemble and re-present a familiar resonance in, what might become, a readable set of vernacular terms and conditions.
Andrew Miller (b. Dartington UK) received his MFA at the Glasgow School of Art in 1993 and since then has gone on to present work both nationally and internationally.
