Stephen Millner: Stone Ground, mixed media, assemblage, 14" x 11" x 3"

About:

Millner's mixed media and assemblage works are stories in the making. He uses a wide variety of recycled materials that work together to create a story tableau. They may include map fragments, envelopes, stamps (postal or otherwise); postcards, scraps of handwritten letters, tags and lists; product labels, advertising, original and found photographs; official documents and forms; signs, stickers, wrapping paper, bags, receipts, and other found objects or material. The works are then finished with acrylic paint, aquarelle, or wax. Appearing simple at first, the art merits further inspection. The pieces draw one into the complexity of the whole and tensions between, the individual elements.
