Cameron Gainer:

Standing over six feet tall, Gainer's Forest Through The The Trees is a life-size embodiment of Bigfoot as captured in the famous Patterson-Gimlin Film. He has recreated frame 352 of the film, which shows the creature in its iconic mid-stride glance at the camera, as a three-dimensional sculpture. It is made from a steel and fiberglass skeleton, covered with faux fur and modeling compound, and has a pair of piercing glass eyes. It is also meant to be a Òphoto-op propÓ that allows the viewer to be a participant in the project as re-creator of the original film footage or perpetuator of it as a supposed hoax. The work was originally shown at Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens in 2006.

The Fabric Workshop and Museum also will be displaying a wall-sized photo reproduction of Gainer's Nessie sculpture and will be screening In Person, his 2005 video project, which was shot at a look-alike convention in Las Vegas. In conjunction with the exhibition, The Fabric Workshop and Museum is offering a limited edition of artist multiples available at the Museum Shop. These silk scarves feature images of fur from the figure and the silhouette of Bigfoot as seen in the installation.
