Chris Miller Ceramics

Chris Miller

Chris Miller graduated with an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2005. From 2006-2009 Miller was awarded the Turner Teaching Fellowship at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Since 2010, Miller has taught at the California State University, Long Beach, where he continues to teach ceramics and manages the Three-Dimensional Foundation program. He currently lives and works in Long Beach.

In his current body of work, Chris Miller takes formal cues from organic, geologic, and anthropomorphic sources, often blending them intuitively to create objects that are vaguely familiar yet undefinable. His first exhibition at Craig Krull Gallery, entitled Push, demonstrates Miller’s belief in chance and unexpected occurrences in artmaking. Risk is a fundamental aspect of his process and, as he states, “each piece must be on the brink of failure.” His ceramics are fired as many times as necessary to develop their complex surfaces and color. Sometimes this happens after a single firing. Works are often fired six or more times with successive layers of material and glaze to achieve their final state. They are both monstrous and beautiful, intuitive and strategic, honest and impolite. His sculptures are visceral combines, presenting “uncertain scenarios where something vital has been forgotten or lost.”
