PsychEdelic Folk Artist HAS GALLERY TALK ABOUT HER INSTALLATION

NEW YORK - January 2007:  In celebration of her large 3-D piece consisting of a cascade of contrasting harsh textures, bright colors and the softness of the fabrics that keep it suspended, Apryl Miller will be discussing her process in an upcoming talk at the New Art Center in Midtown Manhattan.  Both a bold visual statement and an interweaving of her writings about love and loss, the installation contains the opposites of fine detail and brash brightness as well as the written pieces that reward viewers by drawing them closer to experience and explore the deeper meaning within.

 

Based in New York City, Miller’s home is her best-known work, having been featured in the media and Open House New York, the yearly festival of architecture and design.  Containing over 150 shades of paint and a profusion of vintage fabrics, she created her personal space by using color and texture to explore the highs and lows of everyday life, the joy of her children and the dark side many of us want to ignore.  Grounded in the principals of emotional resonance and spontaneous design, Miller is a recovering perfectionist who now welcomes the rule of serendipity. 

Currently trying to live without learning anything more and forgetting all she’s learned,  Miller attended FIT but is largely self-taught and became an artist relatively late in life.  She continues to expand the media in which she works, including collage, furniture as art and interactive installation.
