Emily Jung Miller

Created during my artist residency at Chehalem Cultural Center.

Poem inscribed on porcelain slabs with inclusions of ocean mud and impressions of reclaimed fishing rope:

- Part of you will always live there -


Why is it important to move slowly?

Ask a child
an elder
a redwood
a dragonfly
In fact, ask every tree in the forest

Ask in the bursting of spring

Ask in the silence after wildfires
Ask every day

I don't know is an answer

Ask
Why
is it important to move slowly?


- If I could speak my grandmother's language
what would change? -

Commissions to create new original artwork are currently closed. I will be reviewing my commission schedule for possible openings in January 2027.
