'Winterson the artist at her most potent' GUARDIAN

Our lives are now digital, exposed and always-on. We have changed, but our ghosts have not. They've simply adapted and innovated. They inhabit our apps and wander the metaverse just as they haunt our homes and our memories, always seeking new ways to connect...
