2002
"Ghost" by Banks Violette is a haunting sculptural installation that combines industrial and synthetic materials—epoxy, polystyrene, cast fiberglass, plywood, and IV units of water—to conjure a presence that is simultaneously physical and ethereal. Violette's work exists at the intersection of subcultural iconography and existential dread, using clinical and construction materials to evoke themes of absence, entropy, and the spectral residue of violence. The piece embodies the artist's recurring fascination with the aesthetics of rock music, ritual, and destruction, crystallizing a moment of collapse into a stark, unsettling form.
