Into the realm of hungry ghosts is an installation  piece that explores the places in which

we store memory; both real and fictional, conscious and subconscious. Using the concept of the hungry ghost, traditionally known as a Chinese Buddhist spirit with an insatiable appetite—this installation asks us to tenderly look at our own shadow sides, and the things in which we grasp to avoid doing so.

​

Julia Ballenger is a ceramic artist from the Pacific Northwest. The video installation was

made in the first 2 weeks of the residency when the artist was experiencing a large

amount of complex migraines, which effect her sight for sometimes days at a time.
