Artist Statement 

“In my work I keep reworking a handful of patterns including spirals, packing patterns, and dendritic systems. These patterns appear in different materials and processes sometimes incorporating several of these patterns in one piece.   My intention is to permeate my work with these timeless and familiar symbols as they dance between order and chaos.”

Brad lives and works in Venice, CA. and is actively sharing his work and techniques on Instagram at bradmillerstudio.
