2008 Artist Projects Recipients Dominic Miller – Teeth as White as Bone (Chemotherapeutical Turbine Songs). The artist, and collaborator Adrianna Delgadillo, will record the experiences of Navajo uranium miners living on The Navajo Nation that will be later joined with sculptural and installation-based artworks. The artwork will use the audio recordings as a means to bridge forms of language, myth, and social intervention. The artists will also create a website where they will make available their research. Both artists live in Phoenix. Panel Comments: Miller’s project is intriguing in that he proposes to combine complex cultural and technological issues through the traditional form of storytelling and later integrate it with contemporary installation work. His interest in contemporary social issues was clearly illustrated in his supplementary materials. The samples showed work elegantly simplistic but poignant, yet supported by complex theory and content.
