Exhibition Information
Shelley Miller's work romanticizes the past through her archictural and 'decorative' installations using domestic materials like cake frosting and aluminum pans. For her exhibition at Stride, Miller will be constructing a false tin ceiling that will reference the style of Romanesque architecture. Each aluminum pan will be individually carved to fit within a mathematically calculated perspective drawing pattern that will produce the illusion of an ornate domed ceiling. As viewers move through the space the illusion will slowly break away.
