Episode Synopsis "Episode 7 – Alice Miller"
For this episode, we sat by the sea with Alice Miller, in Sandbanks in Poole. Alice is an oil painter and Loughborough University graduate specialising in small scale photorealism. Each piece is a direct translation of a single phone photograph or video still, taken by or depicting herself. Although always including those around her, the paintings aren’t portraits - the figures become characters and the viewer devises their own narrative. Photorealism shows the camera’s presence as opposed to reality — rich shadow lures the viewer in, yet ultimately obscures any truth seemingly held within the frame. You can find her work on her instagram @ aliceemiller_, and on her website, www.aliceemiller.com Thanks to Alice Miller for giving a chance to this episode to exist. Thanks to Charlotte Brown for helping with the mastering of this episode.
