Miller’s paintings are exacting landscape paintings of an imagined, not too distant future in a world that may or may not be our own. Throughout the creation of this body of work, Miller’s thoughts have swung between the macro and micro of life. The larger constructs of science, culture to the magic exuded by his grandchildren’s toys. The familiar objects and places (city buildings, trees, houses) in his paintings are integrated with the unfamiliar (islands shaped like thumbs and fantastical twenty-third century architecture.) The paintings are rendered with precise lines, and color is utilized to emphasize the flatness of the picture plane. His attention to the precision of the paintings lends an Eastern sensibility to the form of the work. While the content consists of a distinctively Western narrative
