“Ghost”, 1998 by Ron Mueck. It is a sculpture of an adolescent girl, she leans against the wall looking vulnerable, sad and aloof. At closer examination, the girl has light hairs on her top lip. Mueck's early career was as a model maker and puppeteer for children's television and films, more famously the film Labyrinth, and the Jim Henson series The Storyteller. Mueck's sculptures reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce distorted and almost frightening figures. This sculpture is also shown in Hemingway’s Sculpture Remixed collection.
