ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Lynette Miller
“What you need to know about the next piece is contained in the last piece.”
- David Bayles & Ted Orland, Art & Fear
There is no question that Dadaist collage and the Bauhaus tradition of experimentation have been major influences on my art making. I find both alternative process photography techniques and digital particularly amenable to the introduction of other media and frequently incorporate several forms of media into one piece. The end result has almost always been dictated by process.
I’m very interested in exploring the relationships and new meanings created by the simultaneous viewing of disparate imagery. Perhaps it is no surprise that I gravitated to a medium of transparency. I often appropriate information, juxtapose layers of images and integrate text into much of my photographic work.
My current body of work is an exploration of knowledge systems, and combines iconic representations of medieval and Renaissance religious painting with medical illustration, scientific schematica, geometrical construction and mathematical diagrams. While these were periods of intense intellectual exploration, they were also times when science, magic, and religion were not so clearly delineated as we prefer to think they are now. Just as our systems of knowledge build upon what has come before, the images build upon each other suggesting that we are more than the sum of our biological parts. The idea that there is more to truth and reality than what can be detected through our senses emerges as a recurrent theme within the course of my work.
I have always been more concerned with the questions my art might elicit rather than being so presumptuous as to offer any answers. Questions may result in conversation; a conversation is communication, which may increase awareness or understanding - the ultimate encouragement to continue making art.
