In his review, Michael Odom highlights the 'Sea Drawings' component of the exhibition:

"This construction -which also employs plastic bottle necks, a roughly assembled wooden box, and a crushed soft-drink can -looks improvised from trash any yet it is almost elegant"

"The four sea drawings, with their tidal variations in line distribution and density, are guazy and atmospheric delights; regardless of the process, they succeed as drawings in themselves"
