Creative Rationale

Over the high Andes of Peru and Bolivia, where extreme altitude creates surreal atmospheric conditions, the steep pressure gradient and significant temperature anomaly suggest a landscape of geological time made visible through paint. The high humidity and gentle wind evoke the misty, contemplative quality of mountain air, while the lack of precipitation creates a sense of suspended time. This translates into densely layered compositions where ancient geological forms push through accumulated paint surfaces, creating a palimpsest of earth memory and atmospheric pressure.
