Creative Rationale
Over the Southern Ocean in the far south Atlantic, where Antarctic waters meet the vast oceanic expanse at 60 degrees south latitude, turbulent conditions create a dynamic atmospheric theater. The moderate wind speeds and relatively low pressure system, combined with the striking temperature anomaly of 12.8K above normal, translate into energetic bursts of warm-toned color that pool and splash across the composition. Following Sam Francis's approach to lyrical abstraction, I've created bold fields of saturated oranges, reds, and yellows that represent this unusual warmth, while allowing generous negative space to breathe between the color masses, with the high humidity manifesting as soft, translucent overlays that blur the boundaries between forms.
