Apryl Miller Featured in “Hue”, FIT's Alma Mater’s Magazine

Apryl Miller, Fashion Design, is an “accidental artist” whose first and most ambitious project was her four-bedroom home on the Upper East Side, a palace of color, pattern, and texture in which she raised her two daughters. Art blog Hyperallergic called the space “one of the most immersive, intricate, vibrant, and inhabitable art installations in the city.” It has been used for photo shoots by Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Lee Jeans, Glamour and others. Miller’s sculpture, painting, and jewelry all reflect “our universal state of imperfection and how it binds us together,” she says. Her family is part of an upcoming Netflix series about people with creative homes called Amazing Interiors.

For a group exhibit at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in 2017, Miller created the Chairs for Hope upholstered in a jumble of vintage apparel fabrics. “They look like furniture. You can sit on them. But they’re really art pieces that tell stories.”

Apryl Miller Interview for Or Does It Explode

I was interviewed recently for an article, "Sculpture Masquerading as Furniture', Color, Juxtapositions, and More.", for online arts magazine Or Does It Explode. The interview was conducted by Tasha Mathew and she presented me with an array of thought provoking questions. She quarried me about my background, the meaning of color in my work, my connection to fabrics, and my search for identity. She wrote an insightful introduction to the interview which showed that she had spent some time considering my art. I appreciated the time spent with my work. Thank you, Tasha!
