It is not uncommon for Miller to return again and again to the same motif or source, an old tree at the end of a road or a table full of cabbages and search for its significant form. Miller's sense of touch; of brush to canvas or pencil to paper, is shaped by the feeling she has for the space that is sensed moving out and around her and the feeling of space is revealed by her decisive and expressive images. Searching for the right mark, in a physical way, is the counterpart to her searching for the rightness of the visual metaphor for her experience.
