Drawing and the Digital Age

Helen Miller is a British-American artist and writer based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her work explores the relationship of visual representation and embodied experience, for example, the role that gestures play in everyday communication. She is interested in how human development and interaction, and the class dynamics in which they are embedded, can be seen and felt anew. Miller has been an artist-in-residence at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) and a Film Study Center Fellow at Harvard University. Her work was included in the 33rd Bienal de São Paulo, Brazil. She practices somatics and is the Editor-in-Chief of The Feldenkrais Journal, an annual publication on mind-body awareness for artists and the general public. Miller's work has been published by The Drawing Center, The Orion Society, Big Red & Shiny, and the Arts Fuse, and is forthcoming from Taschen Books. She received a BA in art and English from the University of California at Berkeley and MAs in art from Harvard University, where she was served as the Departmental Teaching Fellow in Art, Film, and Visual Studies. She has taught in Studio for Interrelated Media, Studio Foundation, Art Education, and Liberal Arts at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where she is currently a visiting professor and curator of the Brant Gallery.
