Australasia 60s 100e

Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean in the remote waters between Antarctica and Australia, where few vessels venture, the atmosphere churns with intense energy. The significant temperature anomaly of 20.7K above normal creates deeply tortured biomorphic forms that press urgently against the picture plane, while the high humidity of 77% causes these organic shapes to bleed and dissolve at their edges like memories half-forgotten. The westerly wind at 10.9 m/s drives aggressive gestural marks through thin atmospheric washes, and the low pressure system compresses the forms into a claustrophobic dance of part-organism, part-landscape phantoms.
