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
