In my art practice Imagination of Salvation I use varied techniques to explore pasts, presents, and possible futures in places around the world where I have lived and worked—holding space for their pain and their power. My collages, films, actions on the land and hand-made artifacts are based in research, social practice, poetry and creative visualization.

With a background in collage, creative writing, spirituality and economics I have addressed the loss of water in the former oasis town of Al Azraq, Jordan; the paradox of ancient wisdom and the 2008 financial crisis in Greece; and the contrast between environmental degradation and protection efforts in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. Currently I am exploring exile and belonging in Palestine, where I have lived and worked since 2008. My work can also be seen on instagram at bryannamillisart.
