The Beast of Bala is a body of work encompassing an archive to Teggie, said to be a dinosaur or crocodilian type aquatic animal that lives in the lake. The Beast of Bala examines the fundamental human need for myth and legend, combining truth and fiction to suggest an archive that is in fact satirising the institution of the museum by collecting and presenting something that is widely referred to as unreal in an official way.
