My favourite working materials are ink and paper. White paper, coloured paper, carbon paper, thin paper, cloudy watercolour paper, or at least cardboard is okay.

Not coincidently this hanseatic destination was chosen, I‘ll do a documentation for KCCCs „Travel Agency“ and drawings, information graphics an research for the exhibition “The search for a safe harbour”. Project ″Travel Agency″: „The residents involved in ″Travel Agency″ are suggested to reflect on the Klaipeda region and the city, to write diaries and keep their ″route accounting″, which equates the residency to travel agency engaging in cultural journeys.
