Yeti in E Minor was inspired by the room in which it was created. The room was situated at The Cherring Herring (an independent Brisbane dance space run by artists in 1996/97). The room was initially white with four walls. In preparation for this work, the interior walls were removed, leaving only the steel bracing. The floor, ceiling and two remainder stone walls were painted black. The room took on the appearance of a cage and inspired the next reinvention of the Yeti character, trapped, caught and confined to a cage.
