A Solo Exhibition by Tian Miller
The Hidden Lane Cafe
www.thehiddenlane.co.uk
1103 Argyle St
From Friday August 8th
Tian Miller uses found materials such as printed fabrics, old wallpaper retrieved from derelict buildings, garments passed on from relatives and second hand clothing onto which she screen prints images of her own design. The effect created is an uneasy marriage of the two images contrasting the highly stylized, decorative, found patterned fabrics with appropriated technical scientific drawings and Victorian style silhouettes.
