Not-so-silly Millie. An Appreciation of Millie Niss (1973 - 2009). By Edward Picot.


This is deeply sad but also great. Not only does it memorialise a remarkable and much loved person, in both its content and form it offers some alternatives.
As a piece of writing about art and an artist it gives us an alternative to self-regard or obscurantism with the simple, but extraordinarily difficult to achieve, virtues of looking hard, thinking deeply and conveying a considered opinion in language that is not simplistic but is neither ever difficult for the sake of it.
As to the content - it summons up with uncanny precision both the strengths and weaknesses of particular pieces by Millie in such a way that we understand that her legacy, although naturally exemplified by individual works - for me particularly the magnificent collaboration with Martha Deed, the Sporkworld Microblog
http://sporkworld.tumblr.com/
- is also methodological and ethical.
