2014
At one point in Patterson and Gimlin’s film of Bigfoot, the ape-like creature knowingly glances to the camera, suggesting it is in on the joke. This infamous footage of the alleged Yeti sighting has informed my latest series of paintings. The idea of a self-aware, self–aggrandising Yeti has encouraged me to produce a body of artwork which parodies the authenticity of this folkloric character. Throughout I question whether or not the figure wants to be seen and scrutinised by an observer.
