Australasia 60s 100e

Creative Rationale

This atmospheric reading comes from the remote Southern Ocean waters southwest of Australia, where the Roaring Sixties meet the Antarctic realm. The low pressure system (957.8 Pa) with strong westerly winds (13.3 m/s) and extreme cold (-0.9 K) creates a turbulent maritime environment, while the high humidity (93%) suggests thick cloud cover and moisture-laden air. I've translated this into densely clustered brushwork in steely blues and winter greys against a darker ground, with strong diagonal movements echoing the wind's westerly direction and accumulating marks that suggest the weight of moisture and atmospheric pressure in this harsh oceanic landscape.
