This exhibition, which was held with artist Annelize Mulder, was shown at FirstCoat Studios in September 2018. In this exhibition, Giles and Mulder aimed to deliver concepts that relate to disturbances in the human experience. It is safe to say that each person carries the remnants of various life occasions, both good and bad. The flippant reference to being “disturbed” yet functioning, suggests that humans are mostly functional, burying our darker moments. It lingers as we go about life. In this exhibition, the artists scratch at these deeply embedded components through imagery, metaphor and abstraction. Sculptural work in image was created by Annelize Mulder.

Inspired by the purpose of the centre, which is a hub for contemporary visual and performing arts, the photographs contain both musical and dance references.

This work Skin (2019) was a 20 panel photo-media piece measuring 1.5 m x 1.6 m. CONDUIT rationale : Heat, light, sound and electrons flow through a conductor, tethering the subatomic structures of seemingly separate materials. They conduct; exposing the gaps, absences, inaccessibilities, and invisibilities that lie between material bodies. Beyond conduction, Conduit is occupied with revealing the concealed knowledge flowing between our embodied existence and ontological concepts of memory, matter, alchemy, and identity. The artists of this exhibition are not conductors but conduits. They conduit (verb) our personal, social, environmental, chemical, physical, digital, mental, and spiritual realities to find new ways to re-evaluate our existence in a hyper-mediated world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7d27e0010027c017c65804/1520232624170-MV6BSKBKEZ27F7IHELBU/IMG_8219.JPG Projects - Time Photomedia, 2017, each piece 50cm x 50cm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7d27e0010027c017c65804/1628307541392-DQBMRIW87B72OW2OWLKP/Surface.JPG Projects - Fleeting “the fragment and miniature encourage each other—evoking the singular, and rare, the fragile, the ephemeral, and the compressed as materially and poetically valuable.”1 Fleeting is literally things in motion. Things that are defined by their capacity to affect and that can only be seen obtusely in the haptic space in the middle of things—a space that exists between the representational and the abstract. In slowing our quick jump to representational thinking the photographs in this series question our well-known picture of the world; provoking attention to those somethings (things that happen) that throw themselves together as an immanent force. Through movement, materiality, and a texturing of sensation, the artworks in Fleeting bring into sight the intensities of the ordinary via compositions of disparate scenes and transient fragments. Located between displaced perception and hesitant action, Fleeting facilitates an awareness and responsiveness to what anthropologist Kathleen Stewart describes as: “matter in an unfinished world…a not yet that fringes every determinate context of normativity with a margin of something deferred or something that failed pressing to arrive, or has been lost, or is waiting in the wings, nascent perhaps.“2 1.

In using unconventional photographic processes—which take their cues from how memory operates—the images oscillate between movement and stillness and the seen and unseen. Through the cutting away of images from the flux of everyday visual experience, their elements are intrinsically displaced in the strange and confined space of the photograph. In this collection of work the photograph becomes a distancing device, challenging us to an awareness of the structures of visual perception that organise memory. These works also reflect the artist’s commitment to contesting the boundaries of traditional notions of lens-based art, blurring the line between painting, photography and the filmic.

Dick. Considered as one of the most influential writers of the second half of the 20th century, Dick’s future-based works are still regarded as a rich source of insight into our contemporary world. Dick’s stories typically focus on the fragile nature of what is real and the construction of personal identity, with his work starting with the basic assumption that there cannot be one single objective reality and that everything is a matter of perception—the ground liable to shift under your feet at any point in time. Dick’s characters are often unsure as to whether their memories, or their very identifies, are real or artificial and what constitutes a human being is a major subject within his work. The images used in this project explore different motifs in Dick’s writing, as identified by Eric Carl Link in Understanding Philip K. Dick, with images on the theme of Know Thyself, The Android and the Human, The Theodicy Problem, The Evolved Human, and Technology, Media, Drugs and Madness. This project pays homage to Dick’s prophetic vision that the world we would find ourselves in would challenge our notions of humanity, as we become increasingly aware of its ephemeral construction. The photograph itself is also a recurrent theme in Dick’s stories, with it providing a record of an otherwise unbelievable truth or finding some reality behind the façade of images deliberately manufactured to hide it.

In using coloured filters—both physically within the work and as the conceptual theme behind the series— Giles also explores the filtering process as a creative technique, revealing how artists select and manipulate elements to generate a distinctive visual language. The artist’s use of photographs of the moving images that fill our screens, as the content for these artworks, reflects her ongoing interest in the relationship between screens, filters, the photographic apparatus, and our everyday lives. Ultimately, this series of photographic collages echoes our daily navigation of the digital landscape and considers how filters shape our collective perceptions of reality. ‘Filter’ was exhibited at Jan Manton Gallery, Brisbane, 23 May to 10 June 2023.

(2022) In ‘For the Birds’, American composer John Cage told his interviewer that questions should “preserve us from all the logical minimisations that we are at each instant tempted to apply to the flux of events.” The artist believing that questions are more powerful than answers in navigating our ever-changing world. This conceptual portrait of the composer—created from fragments of moving images that fill our screens and using Cage’s technique of piecing together that which swirls around us simultaneously to create something new—invites us to consider more deeply the questions that our digital landscape is posing as we navigate our daily existence. This work was exhibited at Platform Arts, Geelong, 23 April-19 May 2023, in the group exhibition Acts of Translation.
