Terrace Projection: Jesse Boylan, At the end of the day
At the end of the day is a new video work by artist Jesse Boylan who asked staff working in Dhelkaya Health (Castlemaine Health), as well as residents of Pennhall Hostel (Aged Care), about what they think goes unseen in their daily lives and work.
Ellipses describes both the subject and material process of Tara Gilbee's work. The photographic apparatus and employed processes embody the idea of disturbance or 'peripherality', the elliptical framing, with blurred and out of focus sections and sharp striations of light breaking through the camera and frame. Featuring works which emerged from a two year site-specific project undertaken at the Old Gaol in Bendigo and recent site visits to local gaols in Central Victoria.

Artist Floor Talk: Tara Gilbee
Saturday 4 February, 12:30pm — Saturday 4 February, 1:30pm
Join artist Tara Gilbee for a floor talk, discussing her new Orbit exhibition Ellipses in the Sinclair Gallery at Castlemaine Art Museum on Saturday 4 February, 12:30pm.
"Ellipses describes both the subject and material process of my work. The photographic apparatus and employed processes embody the idea of disturbance or 'peripherality', the elliptical framing, with blurred and out of focus sections and sharp striations of light breaking through the camera and frame. Historic sites are represented as psychological ‘grey zones’ and connected to contemporary carceral complexes as places of deep trouble. The works offer metaphysical registrations of muted and marginal spaces."
