Maritime Continent 30s 170e
Creative Rationale
Over the maritime continent southeast of Australia, where the Tasman Sea meets the vast Southern Ocean, moderate atmospheric pressure creates a sense of flowing equilibrium across this oceanic expanse. The substantial humidity of 69% translates into multiple layers of translucent color washes that overlap and intermingle, while the moderate wind from the southeast guides gentle directional flows of salmon pink and teal across the canvas. The relatively warm temperature anomaly brings forth golden ochre and lavender pools that seem to soak naturally into the cream-toned ground, creating the ethereal, absorbed quality characteristic of Frankenthaler's stain paintings.
