UNEVEN projects:

Rob Miller (SFHEA) is a lens & object-based artist with interests that include the illusive status of objects & things, the condition of repetition, temporal anxiety and the Anthropocene dilemma. He gained a Sculpture Degree from the Wimbledon School of Art in 1993, followed by an MA in Graphic Media [UAL] in 2007, and his work has slipped between video, photography, and sculpture.  He has exhibited internationally, including the WW Gallery’s exhibition Afternoon tea, at the 54th Venice Biennale (part of the UK at the Venice Biennale programme), alongside student curated projects, and is currently [attempting] the rewilding of his critical perceptions.

“As an educationalist I consider the pedagogic role as accepting responsibility for creating and adapting student focussed learning environments. A practice in its formative stage of development is potentially vulnerable, being critically fluid and prone to fantastic uncertainties. This requires the teaching to be equally adaptive and resonant to multiple needs and demands. Students should be challenged and supported through the process of defining their own research activities and by discovering suitable equivalences within a culture of research-informed teaching.”
