His installations are amazing. His last exhibit at OMCA was The Pavilion of Rain. The title piece was a boat in a shallow moat, being continually dripped/misted on; one entered it via a gangplank. It was one of the most moving, evocative pieces of art I've ever encountered. Many yrs later, Phil Linares told me that he hadn't been aware at the time of the show that the boat was McMillan's dad's reliquary....
