Shane is known for working with other artists to create larger than life installations. He has been collaborating with artist Jim Holyoak for many years. In 2011 the Québec Triennale at the Museed’Art Contemporain de Montréal commissioned a large-scale drawing installation by the two artists. For three months Shane and Holyoak drew for six days a week in a paper covered room at the museum.
