Making and breaking waves on artist Steve Miller's surf- and
skateboards, Amazonian creatures from iguanas to piranhas make their way
back into their lost habitats in style. Always at the vanguard of
scientific and artistic innovation, Miller has integrated biomedical
imaging technology--from MRIs to CT scans--to capture the natural and
material world as extraordinary photographic images. As global
environmental degradation continues to threaten the rainforests, Miller
metaphorically restores the dwindling flora and fauna of the Amazon
through dynamic surfaces and vehicles. Surf/Skate, a companion piece to
Miller's publishing debut Radiographic, documents this expansion of his
original concept, taking readers on a ride to the intersection of fine
art and material culture.
