Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean at 60 degrees south latitude on the prime meridian, in the stormy waters between the South Atlantic and the approaches to Antarctica, a moderate low pressure system drives strong westerly winds across the ice-flecked swells. The low pressure of 960.1 Pa creates dense congregations of calligraphic marks that mass and swarm across the canvas like Lewis's processional crowds, while the cold temperature of -4.6K calls for a palette of stark whites and pale blues against deep blue-black atmospheric grounds. The strong 14.2 m/s westerly wind sets these mark-clusters flowing from left to right in rhythmic horizontal bands, with the 75% humidity softening everything into misty, jazz-inflected veils that blur the boundaries between gesture and atmosphere.
