A fried egg sits suspended within a sphere of ice, its warm orange tones caught between layers of blue, teal and dark, fractured textures. The familiar object becomes strange and almost otherworldly, preserved in a moment that can no longer move forward or return to its original form.
This work grew from a conversation with Richard about how many fried eggs a person might reasonably eat in a lifetime, prompted by something a doctor had said back in 1982. It is a small, everyday exchange that has endured far beyond the moment itself. Now, whenever a fried egg is cooked, the conversation returns. Part of Memories Series 2 - Frozen Memories, the work explores how ordinary objects can become anchors for recollection, preserving not simply what happened, but the associations and feelings that give a memory its lasting presence.

The Story Behind This Collection
Frozen is Michael Miller's exploration of preservation and the passage of time. Everyday objects suspended within blocks of ice are caught between two states - present yet unreachable, visible yet slowly disappearing. As the ice distorts and refracts the light, the objects beneath take on a dreamlike quality, echoing the way memories themselves become altered and abstracted over time.
