Time Not Wasted

Rice Gallery, Rice University, Houston TX

March 18 - April 18, 1999

Using everyday materials such as sticks, stones, yarn and wood, Miller creates an environment that explores what is lost due to mechanization. A large bed crocheted from muslin serves as the focal point of Time Not Wasted. It is juxtaposed with arrangements of small objects, prints and drawings.

“I think of my work as a record of thoughts and moments,” Miller says. She is a collector of stuff, categorizing and storing, listing and piling. Interested in the interrelationship of things, her objects reflect how one thought leads to the next, and in this way, Time Not Wasted is an intimate record of the artist’s life.
