I lived on Staten Island (1981-2003) and taking the Staten Island Ferry was one of the highlights of that time. I’m a water-person, and my design of this room installation was inspired by the 6-mile trip across the New York Harbor. Its fun interactive components were mostly made during museum visitor workshops. In a New York Times article, the project was likened to the style of artist Red Grooms… what a compliment!
