Artist Statement
I am obsessed with understanding what it means to live in a branded world, where we associate our identities with the brands and products we buy. These images are part of Brand Spirit, a series of photographs I shot every day for 100 days. By reducing the objects to a single color and consistent scale, I found unexpected relationships between them. I never imagined a box of cigarettes would have such similarity to a box of crayons. Each image was chosen to represent a particular concept, from commentaries on consumer culture to celebrations of our most loved brands. My personal favorites honor technologies that have since been replaced.
Why We Love It

"Design invests raw matter with what Bruce Mau calls "performativity"—it endows an inert object with a capacity for action. With his Brand Spirit series, Andrew Miller strips away the facade of the familiar by painting everyday objects pure white. This singular motion is multi-functional: it instantly pinpoints the object's place in culture and also reduces the "it" to its structural form. What remains is telegraphic and unmistakably recognizable but also haunting, humble and inherently honest. This "white-washing" creates an opportunity to see a "thing" for what it intrinsically is: a cultural sculpture that transcends consumption and becomes part of the very fabric of our consciousness." ...
