At first glance, Douglas Miller’s work appears unfinished. Heads of birds and bats hang suspended in empty canvas, a black bear’s ruff only reaches halfway around his face, and a fox’s legs are echoed by sketchings, ghosts of the legs that almost were. Voted “Best Visual Artist” in our Readers’ Choice Awards two years running, Miller pushes the boundaries of form and content, coupling his works with such intriguing titles as “I have certainty and you are not” or “When you are skeptical, I want to look longer at the clouds. Or, fox.” His latest exhibit, “Bewilderinger,” includes detailed drawings done in pencil, acrylic and even coffee. Miller describes his process: “I work in the same way that an author revises text, constructs sentences, edits words, deconstructs sentences, and rubs out ideas. I attempt to discern the impulse of correction and re-evaluate the influence of logic.” —Jennifer Harlan
