Alex Miln

My work questions popular and prevailing perceptions, conceptions about our own world view and our own New Zealand story; to look under the  rug, to see the shadows, to ingest the popular and unpopular, the familiar and the unfamiliar - to confront the message that we want to just drive by.

My work is deeply rooted in Americana - a popular culture wasteland that seeps and leaks its way into New Zealand culture. I extract design elements from the street and put them into the Gallery space, I call this practice, Signtology.
