|  |
The images in Miller's work function as a synthesis of influences including: science fiction, anatomical illustrations, cartoon animation, some of the more experimental trends in science, and general themes in nature. Miller has become increasingly interested in the closing gap between science fiction and science fact. Cloning, transgenic breeding, genetically modified food, and surrogate mothering are just a handful of issues that have sparked his imagination.
Miller approaches his work by imagining the experiments that have gone awry or have backfired. In the end, he finds that it is the questions that he is left with (however absurd they may seem) which fuel his imagination. Will science change the perception of what it means to be human? Is the clone army we see in Star Wars really that far fetched of an idea?
Also important to note is Miller's consistent use of bright, "candy-like" palette, employed to seduce viewers into his uncanny world. The results are images of biomorphic beings, fluctuating between success and failure in their own pastel world of desolation
