Bill Miller

Discarded linoleum and vinyl flooring is reclaimed as a medium for the artwork of Bill Miller. Creating an effect that lies somewhere between collage and stained glass, Miller's innovative use of the linoleum's pattern and color is his signature style. Miller's work has been recognized for rendering narrative moods and a sense of common memory. His unexpected use of patterns taps into the medium's nostalgic familiarity striving to impart a sense of history and story within each piece. Miller began working with reclaimed materials as a founding member of Pittsburgh's Industrial Arts Co-op, constructing large scale sculptures made of scrap materials in abandoned industrial sites.
