"I grew up without electricity. Light has meant something different to me ever since."
Caitlin Miller is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York.
Caitlin Miller grew up off the grid in rural Vermont with no electricity, no running water, before moving to London where her art practice took shape at Chelsea College of Art, where she earned her BFA and MFA in Sculpture. That distance between a life close to the land and the intensity of London in the late 1990s, and then New York City later is a tension that still runs through her work.
Since returning to New York in 2000, Miller has built a practice rooted in the domestic and the bodily — making sculptures, installations, ceramic lights, and performances that ask what memory lives in objects, how women disappear in plain sight, and what we carry without knowing it. Alongside her studio practice she has worked at the Artist's Rights Society and The Art Newspaper, developing a deep fluency in the commercial and institutional structures of the art world.
She lives and works in Gowanus, Brooklyn with her wife and child.
