Helen Miller is a British-American artist and writer based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her multimedia work explores the relationship of visual representation and embodied experience, for example, the role that gesture plays in everyday communication. As a practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method of somatic education, she is interested in how human development and interaction, and the class dynamics in which they are embedded, can be seen and felt anew. Miller has been an artist-in-residence at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MassMOCA), writer-in-residence at Shakespeare and Company in Paris, and a fellow at the Harvard Film Study Center. Her dance film Grand Union was included in the 33rd Bienal de São Paulo, Brazil. Miller is the Editor-in-Chief of The Feldenkrais Journal, an annual publication on mind-body awareness. Her writing has been published by The Drawing Center, The Orion Society, dispersed holdings, Artforum, Big Red & Shiny, The Arts Fuse, and The Boston Art Review. Her photography has appeared in Midway Journal and the Practice Space reader, and is forthcoming from Taschen Books. Miller received a BA in art and English from the University of California at Berkeley and MAs in art from Harvard University, where she was selected as Departmental Teaching Fellow in Art, Film, and Visual Studies. She has taught in Studio for Interrelated Media, Art Education, Creative Writing and the Master of Fine Arts program at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where she is currently a visiting lecturer in Humanities and Studio Foundation. Miller curates the Brant Gallery at MassArt and teaches Drawing and the Digital Age at the Harvard Summer School.
