Alexis Pike: The States Project: Montana | LENSCRATCH

Evel Knievel graced the homes of America during the 60s and 70s. During these wonder years, children were enamored by his death-defying performances and flashy appearance. One could say that while today’s mind-blowing stunts and performances are more common with televised talent competitions and David Blaine specials baiting network ratings, nothing has come close to spirit of Evel Knievel.  Enter Alexis Pike, only a little girl at the time, wanting nothing more than to grow up to be Evel.  Alexis would go on to use this energy to photograph her body of work Color Me Lucky, exploring the the same daredevil culture that excited her back then.
