Manifestoon I
Site-specific installation for The Golden Thread, a pop-up exhibition in the historic South Street Seaport neighborhood on the Lower Manhattan waterfront. The show, curated by BravinLee Productions features 61 contemporary fiber artists. The building, originally a port mercantile used to store dry goods, was built in the late 1700s and is preserved in its near original state. 2024
Manifestoon II
Dossin Great Lakes Museum, Belle Isle, Detroit
Mounted inside a preserved structure from "The City of Detroit III", a pleasure boat built in the late 1800s and stored in an Ohio barn after its decommissioning in the fifties. The adapted structure and the stained glass window were part of the interior of The Gothic Room, a large men's smoking lounge on the erstwhile ship. 2024
