Accompanying text from the exhibition:

This scene is a 3D realization of Ghost[ed.] II, a lithograph that Caroline created with Nicole Polonsky as part of Ghost[ed.], a suite of eight stone lithographs published in 2015. The inspiration for Ghost[ed.] stemmed from a particular characteristic of the lithography process, the ‘ghost’ or residual image that remains within the stone after printing. After editioning, the ghost is usually erased entirely to prepare the stone for a new image. In Ghost[ed.] however, the ghost was only partially erased, allowing each of the eight participating artists to respond to the previous artist’s print in an elaborate game of artistic consequences. For Ghost[ed.] II, Caroline drew on her studies of dead birds in natural history museums to transform Nicole’s ghosted picture frame into an aviary theatre. Caroline’s 3D version allows us to peek behind the print – reflecting another of her inspirations for this scene, Walt Disney’s 1938 animated short, Mickey’s Grand Opera.
