Dr. Miller Anderson is currently working on a new series incorporating photographic collages, digital textile printing and embroidery. Based upon earlier research into geometric forms, her new work uses many layers of geometric patterns. . . in combination . . .with a recognizable object which forms another pattern. All of the images used are based upon my work as a photographer or my work using mathematical and scientific-based software applications in order to generate patterns.
