About this work

This painting looks like a row of ghostly, blurry figures standing side by side. They’re all pale, almost see-through, with just a hint of dark outlines. The background is plain white, and the shapes are uneven, like they were cut out and stuck down. The artist used a mix of photography and drawing—ink on paper that’s been folded or crumpled. It’s not a clear picture, but the way the figures fade in and out makes them feel like they’re moving. If you like this style, check out Roni Horn.
