Diane Miller’s work combines papermaking, printmaking and collage. Images and textures are created through various forms of printmaking such as monotype, etching, silicone intaglio and collagraph, then printed on delicate Japanese papers. These prints are used as raw material to be collaged in fragments and sometimes in many layers, on top of the artist’s own handmade paper. The papers and prints are so thin that the viewer often doesn’t recognize that the works are truly collages. Metallic leaf, passages of drawing, acrylic and gouache can be added. variety, fragility and intensity of the forces of nature.
