"Ghost, a publication edited by Printeresting, includes critical writing, art projects, and artist profiles. The term “ghost” has specific technical implications for print artists, but also broader metaphorical connotations. As we investigate this theme, our guideposts include: trace, echo, residue, evidence, artifact, history, nostalgia, witness, memory, invisibility, vanishing, mystery, death, memento mori, afterlife, etc. Ghost features images and writing by Noel W.
