Learn More About Danae Bennett Miller
Picture
Danae Bennett Miller is a sculptor living and working in Central Oregon.  In order to make her one-of-a-kind- works, Danae fabricates each sculpture from many individual parts using a lost wax process. Rather than sculpting the wax into a model, Miller  pours wax out in individual slabs. The ragged slabs then become the building blocks for the sculpture, as they are placed and molded around an armature. These forms are given to a foundry, which then translates the shapes into bronze.  Miller receives the pieces back and she welds them into place and adds the patina herself. Recently she has begun to add molded glass to her sculptures. Danae’s sculptures range in size from tabletop to one and a half times life-size.  These monumental works are part of the cultural landscape in Bend, OR, with two public sculptures, one downtown and one in a roundabout, on permanent display.

Danae Bennett Miller  started working in wax in 1978 in undergraduate school while majoring in sculpture. Miller pursued this interest into Graduate school, increasing her knowledge of process and casting.  The fluid nature of the wax lends itself to the energy she seeks to convey in the sculpture.  The wax sheets allow for a balance between the positive and negative spaces in the sculpture.  In addition to casting bronze, aluminum and stainless steel, Miller often includes additional materials such as rock, steel, patina or paint, and water elements. She also includes light and cast glass for some pieces.

"My work is Influenced by my natural surroundings, and fueled by the textures, colors, and energy of life force.  I have always lived in the company of animals.  I celebrate my reverence for mother earth through my work.  I seek to find an understanding of the life and energy in all of us, human and animal.  Our relationship with each other, and how we relate and fit into the greater environment is part of my sculpture.    Walking through the landscape of Central Oregon, I soak in the great vistas and tiny gems of under my feet, and then bring my inspiration back to the studio."
