Bacon Triglyph

Brandon Shimoda was into bacon before it had become the all-pervasive pop-culture meme that it is today. In fact, he might be the guy who started the meme. Back in 2002 and 2003 he hosted the "Bacon Show" -- an art show devoted to bacon. He ran it out of his Albany apartment, greeting visitors dressed in a pink pig costume. The crowning glory of the show was his "Bacon Triglyph" -- three pieces of bacon encased in polyester resin, preserving them for all eternity.

Welcome home sweetie, I am sure you were missed while you were gone. Glad you didn't leave us for that long! 😉

Brandon did an amazing job with the Bacon Show - but Bacon Triglyph was my contribution. By the way - it still looks exactly the same almost nine years later.
