Kathryn Poindexter reviews Allison Miller: Screen Jaw Door Arch Prism Corner Bed recently on view at The Pit, Glendale, CA.

Poindexter begins: “Allison Miller’s oeuvre is firmly and unequivocally rooted in the painting tradition, and yet is built upon a conviction, evident in her output over the past decade or so, to explore every inch of the possibilities, conditions and inherited clichés of painting. It operates more as a dynamic, undulating continuum than a machine on a trajectory. Equally adept at inventing strategies and systems as she is at destroying and subverting them, her work’s success largely depends on the interplay and balance of the two.”
