The exhibition, John Miles Runner: Situation Normal, was held at the Visual Arts Center, TCC at Olde Towne, Portsmouth, Virginia, from January 24 through March 11, 2010.

In this solo exhibition, John Miles Runner (Newport News, Virginia) presented large-scale woodcuts and site-specific installations. The artist works both two- and three-dimensionally and focuses on the social issues of our society including health care, personal identity and public waste. Through his objective approach, the artist asks viewers to consider the world the way it is and not as they have been culturally guided.

In his prints, simple forms and graphic images are created with course texture and dense color. Accordion pleating adds dimension and changing imagery. Sculptural work includes interesting and compelling objects. All are highly poignant and symbolic.
