James C. Miller. (born Dec 28, 1972 in San Benito, Texas) is a contemporary South Texas artist in flatbed scanned photography and art installations.
Miller studied at the University of Texas at Brownsville from 1992 to 1994, studying drawing, painting, and ceramics. He then moved to Weslaco and completed his education at the University of Texas-Pan American in Edinburg.
After graduating, he traveled to Mexico for over a period of 7 years, visiting the ancient Meso-American ruins and studying the works of avant-garde artists of Mexico city.
As of 2007 Miller is working with flatbed scanners and video installations. He also works with traditional mediums such as clay, oils, and metal. “I tend to lean on obscurity, distortion, and darkness to lead the viewer to meditate and to experience deep levels of meditation. I look to ultrasound scans, irregular frequency on broadcast radio, breaking of satellite images for inspiration.”
