Steve Miller's work contains language alongside images in the form of conversations, quotes and observations; he wittily juxtaposes different styles, cultures and periods of time. His non-animated film sequences, storyboard formats and single images are concerned with the absurdity of context, and are often employed to ironic effect. They illustrate everyday paradoxes, and the dialogues within the works are usually self-contained. Biographical details can be read as personal ideas that also suggest the commonplace in a wider context, rather than something that is purely self-centred.
