This exhibition brings together a series of works that consider domestic memory; corporeal and incorporeal traces; and the ways contemporary art can articulate complex feelings of ‘hauntedness’.

Something breathes beyond the door, moves between the walls, rests beneath the floor.

Through the use of moving-image, printmaking and installation art practices, this exhibition seeks to visualise the shape of absence and give tangible weight to transient, elusive moments and memories. The works featured in a threshold, haunting form part of Jessica’s ongoing body of work exploring the ‘haunted home’ and the spectral with an emphasis placed on the ways that women haunt and are haunted.
