As the daughter of Jamaican ministers who immigrated to Canada, Shantel Miller takes viewers on an intimate and spiritual journey, shedding light on representations of race, gender, and belief systems. As she documents everyday life and shares with us her ordinary surroundings, her re-imagined spaces specifically depict moments of black life. With oil paints and delicate details, she questions authority, existence, and contemplates what it means to be human. In this new series of works, Miller touches on distance and proximity, touching and togetherness within familiar and intimate settings, as she depicts contemplative moments with bold colors and a saturated palette.
