I Babysat for Those Fools is an installation by Inflatable Deities - a collaboration with Emily Pelstring. This work consists of a mural framing a series of videos. The videos are dramatic reenactments based on the anecdotal accounts by Amityville residents during the 1970s, when a horrific murder shook the town and subsequently fueled the Amityville Horror fiction franchise. Curated by Darryn Doull for the exhibition, In The Shadow of the Millennium, at the Judith and Norman Alix Art Gallery in Sarnia, Ontario, 2016.
