From the 2007 exhibit brochure of the Francis Kyle Gallery: 'The exhibition centres on journeys Miller has made in Northwest Mongolia. In this frontierland where the Gobi Desert, steppe grasslands, Altai Mountains and lake country come together, the artist traveled by horse or camel, staying close to the surface textures of landscape which have always fascinated him: rocks, sands, seas of grasses responding in endlessly shifting, semi-circular patterns to the pull of wind and weather.

'In his adoptive homeland of Japan Miller has for many years found his classic subjects in detail, be it natural, architectural, or domestic, which expresses the whole: rocks in a stream, a roof under snow, a garlic bulb caught in shadow. Now, in Mongolia, detail is still eloquent but space itself becomes the subject, with giant natural features standing in as detail: in the Altai Mountains glaciers translate into brilliant white bands against the sky; huge, mirage-like lakes appear out of morning mist.'
