Leaves were collected and collated into grids which demarcate their changing colours as the seasons shift from spring to autumn.

The next stage involved abandoning the camera for the direct imprinting of leaves and flowers on to photo-sensitive paper. “Môrwelion, The Sea Horizon” captures in a square format with the same horizon line the shifting shapes of sea and sky, sea and cloud, allowing us engage with the mystery of the horizon which exists in the mind’s eye. This series of 40 photos was first shown at Arnolfini in 1987 and is currently being exhibited in the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff. His early work, made when he was 19, explores the horizon that greeted him every day at his home at Clevedon, as he gazed over the Severn estuary at the far shore of Wales.

The word “adore” implies the reverence with which the artist looks at the world around him, the intensity of longing with which he translates what he has absorbed into a variety of media, and the sense of belonging to a specific place. GARRY FABIAN MILLER’s recent exhibition “Adore” charted the journey of his life and art as it has evolved over five decades.
