“I’d say I’m a painter who writes” — Harland Miller.
Miller’s XXX turns three familiar letters into something charged and cinematic, speaking at once of desire and something slightly illicit. The overlaid, ghosted letters suggest several moments captured as after‑images, while the graphic act of crossing‑out—a redaction—feels half‑remembered, hinting at censorship, erasure and the lingering pull of memory.
