If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Drawing, Installation, Sculpture

About my artwork: Petri Eskelinen analyses nature and it's mechanisms for producing and maintaining life like a scientist. His installations are multi-functional devices which distil and measure the geological and botanical movements of nature and nature's unending process into images. Eskelinen is also interested in shipping and the explorers who sailed the high seas. He charts their achievements and attemps in detailed drawings. His art thus has two main poles: the scientific and the adventurous and literary. What they share is a contemplation of invention and exploration, considered as a gambling or betting venture. He examines them in a narrative way, which includes a dimension of enchanting mystery, impenetrable and beyond time.
