In conservation

The photographic record of this work is undergoing conservation treatment and is not presently on display. The work itself remains in the permanent collection.

Curatorial note

The taped notices on the hull anchor the work as a street-side artifact rather than a vessel in use. Acquired January 2026, it has occupied the Fairfield Street curb on its galvanized trailer, a portable object enduring in public view. The piece combines maritime form with street signage, recording a continuous encounter between mobility, memory, and the ordinary rhythms of the neighborhood.
