SIlent Emptiness
1st June - 3rd July 2009
New Installation, textile, print and embroidery based art by norwegian artist Tian Miller, inspired by her recent residency in Trondheim Norway.
Tian uses found materials such as printed fabrics, old wallpaper retrieved from derelict buildings, and garments passed on from relatives onto which she screen prints images of her own design. The effect created is an uneasy marriage of the two images contrasting the highly stylized, decorative, found patterned fabrics with appropriated technical scientific drawings and Victorian style silhouettes.
Congratulations also to Tian who has been awarded the Dusseldorf Residency where she will take up residency in Dusseldorf, Germany in July. Tian will stay in a complex of artists live/work spaces in the “Bilk” district of the city – close to the centre. Her studio will be just above the Kunstraum which is where she will exhibit her work at the end of her stay.
