Millie Tyler, a multidisciplinary artist from the United Kingdom, will be participating in the Studio 88 “Summer Residency” programme in September 2026. She will spend 3 weeks in Doi Saket, exploring the natural surroundings of the town and working on her new installations.
Millie works with photography, installation, collage, and graphic language. The core question of her artistic work is the interaction between identity and nature. For example, in her project “Girls in Nature”, Millie explores feminine identity, memory, and fantasy in nature through prints. For her ongoing project “Altar series”, she creates temporary installations made of objects and images she has collected and created over many years. These “altar” compositions hold her personal experiences with spirituality, mental, and physical health.
Millie Tyler worked as a designer and a creative director in London. Her works were featured in itsnicethat Online Magazine and Women of Design. She is a winner of the Creative Conscious Award 2018.
Artist Statement
My practice is a way for me to make sense of my place in the world, but it is also a way for me to escape it. I am interested in this tension between reality and fantasy, and the compositions often play with the balance between order and precision, and chaos and grit. Photography is at the heart of my practice, but the image is taken through a process of transformation using print techniques, editing, or rephotographing. This way of working is repetitive and intuitive as I let the materials guide the compositions and create their own unique visual worlds.
During her residency stay at Studio 88, Millie Tyler would like to create “installations that interact with the landscape and explore how nature can store emotion, expand consciousness, and heal”. Through the exploration of the environment and ecosystem of the location, Millie hopes to create an installation that will reflect this journey. At Studio 88, she will be using the darkroom for film development, as well as collecting local materials such as paper, fabric, etc., to create a body of work that would deeply reflect the artist’s psyche. For Millie Tyler, nature and art collide in their healing and soothing potential.
