Artist statement:
A WILD IN THE STILLNESS is a reflective commentary on the Kulning Wind turbine proposals and their potential effects on the Wee Thump and South McCullough wildernesses. Neatly housed, nature's adaptation and growth are quietly stifled in isolation. In controlled breaths, the perpetually disturbed tumbleweed signifies the ecosystem of the desert; robust, yet inevitably acquiesced to man-made changes in climate. By trade, Miller’s background in furniture and lighting influences their mediums to portray attempted growth in restraint.
