Ectoplasmic (Ear-Throat Aura) was made by hand from telecommunication cable over 8 years. The meditative yet sometimes torturous working process results in monstrous 'thought-forms' - to use socialist theosopher Annie Besant's term. This work draws attention to the 'telepathetic' prosthetisation of the mouth, ears and vibratory antennae-like head hairs.
