Australasia 60s 100e

Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean southwest of Australia in the remote waters at 60 degrees south latitude, extreme Antarctic conditions create a dynamic atmospheric canvas. The strong southeast winds at 17 m/s drive aggressive diagonal paint drags across the composition, while the unusually warm temperature anomaly of 18K above normal reveals heated underlying colors beneath cooler surface layers. The high humidity and moderate precipitation add wet, blended edges to the squeegee strokes, creating the complex layered revelation characteristic of Richter's technique.
