Contemporary society distances itself from the spectral shadow of superstition and ritual yet we continue to demarcate subjects based on primal ideas of filth and contagion. Subjects of low capital value are relationally soiled whilst high value persons are associated with purity and hygiene. My personal history follows me in life like a spectral cloud of dust – it hovers over opportunity with abjection. I use this dust to produce a photo screenprint cleaning with the broom of my mother.
