Works from Fabian Miller's Year Two series are meditative, though striking, camera-less images made by arranging glass vessels filled with oil and water on Cibachrome photographic paper and exposing the paper to light from a photographic enlarger for varying lengths of time in the unlit darkroom. For this series the artist made ten pictures in each month of the year, each focusing on different elements of the compositions such as color, shape and edge. The resulting work is both visually transporting and technically innovative.
