 Samantha Miller

Samantha's photo project, "Clouds don't look like rabbits," confronts the idea that people create arbitrary systems of meaning so that they may comprehend their surroundings, as one might see shapes in the clouds. The images Samantha uses were captured from her many travels, from Zimbabwe to Thailand, Peru to Mozambique, and India to Zanzibar. With these photos she constructs her own systems of meaning, merging together images that are often contextually significant along with those that are not. In this way, she overtly asserts her own interpretation upon otherwise disconnected images. Her photo exhibit, to be presented on 12 April, 8p.m. in the Postcrypt Art Gallery, invites viewers to examine the images and deconstruct their meaning, or rather, to engage consciously in the process of ascribing meaning for the sake of comprehension. At the exhibit's end, Samantha will provide a pamphlet detailing the location, figures in the picture, and, if any, the political context the picture carries. She hopes you will come and see for yourself.
