Emily Jung Miller
About
I have spent my life on the coast, and all my artwork has its roots in my love of the sea. I have been a professional artist since 2002 with a focus on environmental stewardship and community engagement. I often incorporate natural and reclaimed materials into a wide range of work including interactive installations, mixed-media sculpture, painting, and functional ceramics. My work is included in public collections throughout Hawaii and Oregon.
My work explores my heritage of complex connections across oceans, as a mixed-race Chinese-American who relocated from Kauai to Oregon in 2014, while also sustaining a four-generation connection to Downeast Maine. I maintain a full-time studio practice near Portland, Oregon.
My current practice is centered on Ghost Net Landscape, a series of collaborative community installations transforming reclaimed fishing gear into art, and 1000 Moons, an ongoing art installation and grief process in handmade paper. These process-centered, evolving works create space for positive transformation and healing through abundance, collaboration, conversation, creativity, and play.
In all projects, I focus on integrating rest and rejuvenation as necessities to thrive.
