Virginia Miller - an Australian artist

Virginia Miller uses the actual forms of box templates as framing devices- literally, by providing the receiving surface, and faguratively, by referencing the concept of containment. The images explore the transient and illusionary surface that contradict life in close, urban spaces- spaces that are implied by the very nature of the box. We are offered both a problem and a solution, an expose of Horizon Deficit Syndrome 2 brought about by the lack of open spaces and the claustophobic conditions of urbanity, and the offer of photographic art and illusion, with its meditative capacity to transform and delight.
