Ghosts, ghouls and friends.

What is it that makes someone weird? What makes something eerie?

Here Be Ghosts is an investigation of how you can reproduce a weird or eerie sensation in a work of art with a starting point in the applied metal arts. I have created four corrugated cardboard-like boxes, made of copper, that house an incomplete apartment with humans and anthropomorphic intruders. My intention is to invite the otherworldly into the ordinary home.

And to ask the viewer who it is that really lives here?
