The artist writes: “These horizons stem from a lifelong fascination with the division between sea and sky. . . The horizon is something you can rely on. It is stable. A focal point. Ancient mariners used the horizon as a source of stability and orientation. For me, looking out at that line for anything more than a quick glance has a calming effect, bringing order to a turbulent physical or emotional environment. As it pulls me toward it, it creates space. And silence.”
