The fiber arts work of Liz Miller is currently on view at the Alice R. Rogers and Target Galleries at the St. John’s Art Center.
Miller’s wall-based fiber works and installation environments explore architecture, boundaries, and borders through the juxtaposition of architectural fragments and fiber-based adornment. Pieces of the built environment, such as components of fences, gutter guards, or metal remnants of domestic interiors (such as stove grates) become armatures for ad-hoc weaving, knotting, and embellishment with rope, cord, and other textile materials.
She creates interdependent knotted topographies that allude to both structure and malleability while also recognizing and elevating aspects of human culture that are neglected, overlooked, or discarded.
The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 2 – 6 p.m. and Thursdays from 2 – 8 p.m.
