  "Pirate Cindy" poked fun of the art world and the most hated and feared art critic of the time, Charlie Finch, an art-world "Pirate". Finch co wrote "Most Art Sucks" and the "Coagula" journals.
In this installation, Tower's pickup truck was transformed into a pirate ship, actors were hired with real parrots on their shoulders to cuss at the audience. Viewers gazed at seascapes and pirate/art critic portraits through a veneer of alcohol bottles. Rum and coke was served.
