In May of 2015, I transported a boat I spent almost a year designing, to the Gulf Coast and assembled it to row out and live alone on the U.S. barrier islands in the Gulf of Mexico. While on Horn Island I lived in primitive camping conditions, making site-specific works, surviving on with only what I brought with me.
