Virginia Miller is a Queenslander, originally from the far south west and now living in the south east, the Gold Coast.  These opposing experiences
are reflected as a  sensitivity to spatial relationships which permeate her cross-disciplinary art practice.  Her work investigates the blurred  realm of parallels and departures between real and virtual. 

 Miller graduated in 2004 with BFA Honours (1st) from Queensland College of Art, Griffith University where she is currently undertaking a Master Visual Arts.  She has exhibited at venues including Dell Gallery, Brisbane;  Jan Manton, Brisbane; Powerhouse Gallery and Artspace, Tasmania; Kudos, Sydney; Gold Coast City Art Gallery, and Japan/ Australia art exchange collaboration, Tokyo. Solo exhibitions include the Queensland Centre of Photography, with installations various corporate spaces in Brisbane.  Miller is the recipient of several prizes and awards, was selected for Freshcut,  Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane; has produced significant Art Built-in commissioned works and is represented in collections including KPMG, QCP and N. A. B. Private Bank Collection.

My art is informed by those slippery ideas that surround the filtering of perceptions through experience.  I am interested in the ways in which change embed s in experience, and is the basis for understanding.  This interest extends to concerns about re-evaluation of what might define concepts of the ‘real’ within an age obsessed with the ‘virtual’.  These works present environments pervade with a sense of unreality, they harness my sensitivity to spatial relationships with a continuing interest in the parallels, overlays and ever-blurring margins between the real and the virtual. The contemporary world exposes us to overwhelming quantities of visual imagery, which we sift and often quickly dismiss.  Here visual seduction is a device to draw the viewer  beyond the given - into a paradoxical and ambiguous realm of actual and conceptual space, to interplays between objects, ideas and illusions.
