In 2019, I was an artist-in-residence at The Varda Artist Residency aboard the S.S. Vallejo, a historical houseboat in Sausalito, CA. The Vallejo was built in 1897 as a passenger ferry, was purchased and repurposed by Jean Varda in the late 50's and became a hot spot of the counterculture scene of the '60s. The boat is also fully haunted and it became clear that I was simply just another transient entity. So in honor of the past, present and future spirits aboard the vessel, I began to photograph myself and my fellow artists onboard as ghostly figures in charged locations of the boat.
