“Ghosts don’t haunt us…They’re present among us because we won’t let go of them”, wrote Sue Grafton with more than a touch of Earthy wisdom. It is perhaps a sentence that carries much weight when viewed from the spectre of how the arts can infect us mind, body and soul, and one that is particularly telling when we realise just how impossible it is to remove ourselves from the fragile beauty of the Apparitions that surround us and which give is great joy and the feeling of incorruptible melancholy at the same time.
