This ghost lettering “Paramount” and “6th and Hill” could be seen on the side of an abandoned building across the road from my fire escape on the 9th floor of the Spring Arcade Building. The painting began in muted pinks and pistachios – inspired by the 1950s ice cream sellers who would have trawled the cinema's aisles during the movie's halftime. Layers and layers of off-white were applied to the canvas until the painting itself became a '“ghost”. When I hung it on a white wall it immediately struck me that the architecture should live on... so I graffiti-ed the entire wall, ultimately creating a dual-surface work (see photographs, below).
