Art

In my mixed-media collages, images might merge time periods, flatten perspective, defy gravity, and play with proportion to spark surprise and delight but also evoke nostalgia, longing, and the dancing uncertainty of memory.

Book Art

In my book art practice, I write poems and combine them with my collages in book structures, some traditional and others surprising.  Book art is immersive and interactive and therefore challenging to depict in photographs.

Some Perennial Favorites

Shown here: Fruit Tree, The Red Roof, Harvest, Winter Solstice Tree accordion book, Stormy Seas single-page book. All images © 2016-2026 Sylvia K. Miller.

“Home” Series

Over the past decade, I have explored the meaning of “home” in art and poetry.  My latest project is a 3D house with poems hidden in the walls; more on that soon! Shown here, above: Blue Spruce collage and The Time of Home chapbook (open page showing Memory of a Mango Tree collage) and below: Dream House and Cedar Street. All images © 2016-2026 Sylvia K. Miller.

A white house with large fall leaves wafting in front of it

Zines

Some people are surprised to find that these zines use the popular “mouth-fold” format, because they are kind of elegant and very neatly folded! I am learning to use a risograph machine and look forward to making some riso zines soon.

Eight-page zine layout showing vintage typewriters on each page, posed above a large and mimi version of the folded zine.
A folded zine with the title "Hello, HOUSE" visible is posed behind a flat sheet showing the 8 pages of the unfolded zine.

And More . . .

I hope that the foregoing gives you a taste of my art! Stay tuned for the Looking for Funnybird series!
