Diana Miller

Employing a playful approach, Diana Miller starts her paintings with no predetermined outcome, drawing on her instinct and curiosity. Beginning initially on the floor before taking her linens to the wall, Diana works quickly with brushes, cloths and fingers. She is interested in the deconstructing and reassembling of elements in her practice via the layering, covering up and wiping away of paint to achieve her unique style of abstraction. Diana’s paintings combine gestural, textured components with shapes and bold, flat spaces of colour that create depth through their juxtaposition.

Says Miller of this work, “Hypnagogia is the term for the transitional state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. This painting has been made with the use of dry brushing to create this dreamy, soft effect.”
