Chris Miller
Risk is a fundamental aspect of ceramicist Chris Miller’s process, and 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; others are 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—visceral combines.
Miller is a professor of art at California State University Long Beach, which fosters one of the most respected and fertile ceramics communities in the world.
