Australasia 60s 100e

Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean, far south of Australia at 60 degrees south latitude and 100 degrees east longitude, turbulent atmospheric conditions create a dynamic weather system. The moderate wind speed of 11.4 m/s from the west-southwest, combined with a significant pressure gradient and high humidity, translates into a composition of moderately frequent undulating lines moving diagonally across the canvas. The cold temperature of 1K drives the palette toward Riley's early black-and-white optical work, while the substantial pressure gradient creates densely packed parallel lines that generate intense visual vibration and movement.
