"I'm interested in that moment of peace which descends when someone is reading a book,
or observes flowers in a vase, and a certain quality of light comes into the room,
some transcendent instant - and then it passes.
 I want to preserve a space for those special moments - the pictures are embodiments of them."

- Garry Fabian Miller
It is tempting to read Garry Fabian Miller's art as standing in this tradition. his methods of working with simple elements combined and re-combined over time bear strong analogies with musical compositoons.His vocabulary of the circle, square and divided square, using rich reds, yellows, oranges, blues, and blacks, does not overtly link to the visible, except, perhaps, via allusions to the sun, moon and horizon...

Fabian Miller's sensitivity to the patterns of light on the moors, the changing seasons, the clouds, rocks and vegetation all implnge on the work he makes today, but the representational link to the viewable world has become more oblique.

"The pictures I make are of something as yet unseen, which may only exist on the paper surface, or subsequently may be found in the world. I am seeking a state of mind which lifts the spirit, gives strength and a moment of clarity...

Making something which is other, which seems to have come from an unknown place, is what i am aspiring to do. making things visible that have never been seen before.”

In Fabian Miller's art, we can see its deeper meanings, though, were brought about by the vibrations of the soul, an inner resonance, rather than by any tie to the world as Will. All in all, what Fabian Miller seek is the half- forgotten world...the making of beauty is an act of redemption...

Garry Fabian Miller was born in Bristol, England in 1957. His works are in the collections of major art museums internationally, and he is currently featured in the Victoria and Albert's much anticipated show on contemporary cameraless photography, "Shadow Catchers" (along with Susan Derges, Adam Fuss, Pierre Cordier, and Floris Neususs). One of Britain's best known contemporary photographers, Fabian Miller's work has been the subject of several monographs, including Illumine (2005), Year One (2007), and The Colour of Time (2010).
