Booth&#8217;s iconic visual language invites us to see beyond our immediate earthly existence and and gaze beyond into alternate realities and imaginary worlds.<\/p>\n<p>Ghostpatrol has a strong history with the first community-owned wind farm, Hepburn Wind \u2013 having painted a 17 and 21 metre tall mural on each of the turbines, owned by 2000 community members.
