The Ghost Trip series started with works on hotel paper during an artist’s residency in China and most were first exhibited in Henderson Centre, Beijing. The ground of this series slowly shifted from hotel paper to found or reproduced graphic drawings that were eventually ‘erased’ with subsequent layers of non-newtonian ink and tar, emphasising the gravitational essence in dualities, opposing delicate marks (embossed using lead spheres from bullet cartridges) to imbued stains of pigment and underlay graphic information. The starting point of both planes is political and deals mainly with transitory paths, migration and displacement. The artist tends to think of them as Loss maps.
