Creative Rationale

Over the frigid waters of the Southern Ocean southwest of Australia, extreme cold dominates this remote Antarctic region where temperatures plunge far below the zonal mean. The low atmospheric pressure creates a heavy, contemplative mood calling for just two massive color bands that fill the canvas like Rothko's most meditative works. Strong winds from the southwest blur the boundaries between these color fields, while high humidity gives the deep blues and blacks an inner luminosity that seems to glow against the darkness of this polar landscape.
