Jared Miller
Jared Miller has always been drawn towards the visual arts, and has been influenced by many different styles of art and theory. Yet, it has not been the art world alone that has moved his work, it has been ideas and experiences, passing moments, and conversations. While making his way through college, he worked as a graphic designer and illustrator, eventually receiving painting and psychology degrees from Brigham Young University. He is presently going to the Art Institute of Chicago. "My work seeks the spiritual and the psychological," says Miller, "to touch something beyond us. I want to find the strings, which connect us all as humans, and pluck them. Then, I want the viewers to hear the echo of the infinite and know they are a part of something larger and grander than themselves. The show speaks to me of an upward pull towards something above, an unconscious draw towards a higher unseen. It speaks to our precarious journey, as we are lifted higher and higher."
