Amy Theiss Giese
Amy Theiss Giese is an American artist and educator based in Boston, MA.[1]Giese works using experimental photography and sound techniques. Her work explores perception, space and reality.[2]
Education[edit]
Giese graduated with a BA in Fine Arts from Amherst College in Amherst, MA in 1999, before being certified with professional photography in 2006 form the New England School of Photography in Boston, MA. She then graduated with honors from the Masters of Fine Arts in Photography at Parsons School of Design at The New School University in New York, NY.
Giese also studied music and sound production, taking Introduction to Music Production at Berklee College of Music in 2013 and Getting Started with Sound in Max at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
She also obtained a Graduate Certificate in Publishing at Emerson College in Boston MA.[3]
Teaching[edit]
Giese was the Lead Faculty of the low-residency MFA in Photography program at the Institute of Art & Design at New England College, New Hampshire Institute of Art (NHIA)[4] in Manchester, NH. She was also an Assistant Professor at the Community College of Rhode Island in Lincoln, RI, and served as an adjunct at NHIA and a part-time faculty at NESOP in Boston and an instructor at both the Institute of Contemporary Art and Museum of Fine Arts. She served several positions as an assistant prior to her appointments there.[5]
Works[edit]
Giese works with both photographic and audio techniques, described aptly by Granary Art during her exhibition there in 2018.
Amy Theiss Giese combines photography and sound to create site specific installations exploring the dynamic between actual and perceived space. Her images are photographic skiagrams, Greek for shadows written, and they are a visual translation of the shadows cast in a room at night. The sound is derived from recordings made in the same room and are modified into a digital translation of the images, pixel to MIDI[6] notes.[7]
Silver Halide Process[edit]
Silver has been used historically in photography for its light sensitive properties.[8] At around the 1940s-1950s, silver bromide began being replaced by silver halides.[9] The technique of using silver for photography has been present from the advent of the daguerreotype in the 1840s and 1850s, and in other early methods of photography, although the use of silver gel didn't begin until around the 1870s.
Chromoskedasic Sabattier Process[edit]
Chromoskedasic sabattier is an experimental silver gelatin technique developed in the 1990s and carried out in a traditional darkroom. The process lifts the silver halides in gelatin silver paper to the surface, resulting in a "multicolor, metallic sheen on what would otherwise be a black and white print."[10] It cannot be easily controlled, making it a highly experimental process.
