In The Presence of a Ghost: Iteration I

I have been working for the last several months on a body of work dealing with the concept of residue.  My explorations have dealt with both physical material and language connection.  Residue is what remains in the absence of an object.  Memory is the residue of an event.  A ghost is the residue of a person.  The ghost is a persistent lingering presence. 

I am calling the body of work in the presence of a ghost.
