SOUR: Anything else that’s good on display or late?
SWEET: Yeah, Jamie Miller’s one-person show at Taylor Books was impressive. She’s really coming along and making it to the next level. She has progressively improved. Advanced and refined herself, her technique, her imagery. Jamie Miller deserves the “Most Improved” artist of the year, “(of course, that is meant as a compliment!)

In the works at Taylor’s, childlike imagery meets the horrors and trauma of life in this realm. Miller captures the interesting dance of innocence encountering tragedy, and both extremes of that experience informing the other. Neither tragedy nor innocence escapes transformation, neither eradicates the other entirely. Like looking at the aftermath of a cartoon-deadly tornado. Nice effect.

Sour: “Next, we take up a lot of so called weird or semi-hard to see art. Stay tuned.”
