'key to my practice is a process of calculated spontaneity and pre-planned coincidence through which I work primarily with a
combination of
drawing and installation. through merging of material and context I
explore the visual language of nautical folklore,
which tells the story
of faith, hope, love, and the struggle to get to the non-existing point
in the horizon'.
