Provenance Kevin Bruk Gallery, Miami Catalogue Essay JOHN MILLER Your work sometimes reminds me of a book I grew up: Fun With Next To Nothing. It told you things like how to make an airplane out of popsicle sticks or a wall plaque out of bottle caps. TOM FRIEDMAN Well, that’s not surprising. I like it to have a sense of being at home. JOHN MILLER Why “home?” TOM FRIEDMAN I like the connection to everyday materials, things just sitting around the house. For me, home just means “being yourself.” You don’t have to go outside to know more; you already have everything you need. I don’t think of learning as an additive process. Instead, your mind rearranges itself in certain ways. It’s interesting to think that all the potential knowledge is already there. (Tom Friedman with John Miller "Index Magazine," 1998) Read More
