EUN-YOUNG CHOI, 'Hot on the Trail of Yeti', 2005, mixed media, on mylar. its hard to see in the photo, but the answer to the riddle: where is the Yeti?, was: if you look closely you can find him in a 'negative' field, in the background. SASQUATCH SOCIETY, Sixtyseven, July 28, 2005

EMILY LAMBERT, '1952 Lewiston CA', 2005, oil on canvas, SASQUATCH SOCIETY, Sixtyseven, July 28, 2005

NICHOLAS PARISI, did the ambient walls, looks like he used concrete, but it was obviously something a little more temporary. the price sheet, lists it as multi media, variable dimensions, price upon request, so I guess you could have him come do this to your place too, for a special occasion. It certainly contributed a unique dynamic to this show. SASQUATCH SOCIETY, Sixtyseven, July 28, 2005
