The Deeply Disturbed series was created as part of a two-person show called ‘Deeply Disturbed yet Surprisingly Functional’. 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. Photo care of Annelize Mulder.
