GHOST LIMBS

Ghost Limbs, the second collection by 8888, is named after a medical

condition where a patient can feel pain where an amputated limb once was. It

features the minimalist and enigmatic work of Jean-Michel Gadoua.

Inspired by the visible and invisible, ghosts, the programmed death of his

mother and emphasizing the expressiveness of raw materials, Gadoua’s 7 new

pieces are monolithic and dark; furniture for the living and dead, visible and invisible, vessels for the afterlife. 

Gadoua’s work was accompanied by pieces from Olivier Bonnard, Édith Sévigny-Martel, Kara Katon, Stephanie Coleman and Paul Edward Wilson. Ghost Limbs was presented at Le Centerpiece in the Fall of 2022, in Montreal.
