From Galleri Urbane: "The title refers to the traveler, a character that wanders through time - collecting mementos of culture and ephemera. Following a trip to the Philippines, recent works by Miranda constitute a shift in compositional structure – swirling vines, hanging lamps, resting cats and dogs frame the snapshot-based works. "I view objects with human qualities - I believe they have a story to tell and have lived a life just like the rest of us," says Miranda. These objects come from his wandering; cellphone pictures taken in an instant inform the sketches for his encaustic panels. "I romanticize the images and hide the real world; most cats I photographed were without a home," says Miranda. "I see they struggle to find food – they live from scraps to survive – but in my paintings they have a certain beauty to them.""
