‘Haunted II’ by Kiki Smith is one of the 12 prints currently on view for the exhibit Streaming Spirits presented by SCAD Lacoste.  Taking inspiration from the 19th-century genre of spirit photography, these hauntingly beautiful works on paper utilize a variety of printmaking techniques as the medium through which to capture manifestations of the self.
