Can you read a drawing? Top to bottom, side to side, a tangle of scrawled marks converges and covers almost every inch of this long paper scroll.
Dan Miller's art is a graphic communication made in the moment--written and over-written words and letters that capture and convey thoughts, emotions, and memories, both fleeting and long-lasting.
Layering his texts well past the point of legibility, Miller, who is autistic, creates abstracted word-clouds that use color, density, and scale to convey memories and feelings he is unable to express verbally and to connect with those around him.
