gallery exhibition & video art
Gallery views, The Secret of Bigfoot Pass, 2009. Shalon Light Cube: Plexiglass (2ft x 2ft each side), fiber and computer-controlled LED lights. The title of the work refers to the 1976 TV show and paperback of the same name featuring the Six Million Dollar Man character, Steve Austin. In the story, the legend of Sasquatch is explained as a cyborg created by Alien explorers. In this group of works, the artist explores the significance of these characters and subject matter in 1970s popular culture.
