Finn Miller
I am a visual artist based in Queens.
My paintings, animations, and lithograph prints are rooted in self-reflection, personal symbolism and narrative storytelling. I like to explore that absurd-feeling tension between an artists’ interior/exterior life, as well as the artist’s (sometimes awkward) journey towards truth and self-transformation in a social context. Self-portrait and autobiographical writing are used as a starting point to create narrative images which reflect a larger collective unconscious. In the tradition of other self-mythologizing artists like Walt Whitman, Gertrude Stein, Alison Bechdel, or Bob Fosse, my work is psychological, experimental, often humorous, and completely autobiographical.
