Combining English sophistication and ‘correct’ views of youth with current media trends of the ‘hoodie,’ Miller examines the disillusionment and change of the modern youth.  By splitting the gallery space into two opposite popular perceptions this installation is both a nostalgic look at what once was and what it is becoming.

 

The first chapter finds an airy room drowning in sunlight with small images of Apple Blossom and glasses of cider whilst the second and conclusive room is dark, threatening and apocalyptic; here you are confronted with four large black and white light drawings of strange hoodie like characters, reminiscent of the Grim Reaper and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  The dark room is claustrophobic and doom like, the viewer now sips on red wine and is transcended into obvious religious connotations and a deep routed sense of intimidation similar to what is projected onto hooded kids today through the media and so unlike the initial room with its heavenly and Eden like naivety.
