Four works: (i) Evils, 2004; (ii) One Very Long Tone, 2004; (iii) Oracle Leaper, 2005; (iv) Poof, 2004

Christian Holstad's four works on erased newsprint employ pencil to create delicate, ghostly imagery on surfaces stripped of their original printed content. The erasure of the newsprint beneath transforms the works into layered meditations on absence and presence, with the residual texture of the paper becoming an active element of the compositions. Titles such as *Evils*, *Oracle Leaper*, and *Poof* suggest themes of transgression, mysticism, and fleeting disappearance, reinforcing the ephemeral quality of the medium itself.
