The question of whether ghosts exist, for whatever
reason, stuck between this or another world, or whether they are mere
products of our imagination, is not one Theander's work seeks to answer.
Real or not, her interest lies in their poetic potential, as catalysts for
imaginative scenarios. Thus in the actual process of painting, ghosts become
metaphors, for mediators between the realm of the real and the imagined or
even for the space ‘in-between’ they inhabit. The continuity of referring to
spheres at the margin of or between worlds shows a strong fascination for
ephemeral states in which vagueness dominates over fixed meanings.
