Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean at 45 degrees south latitude on the Prime Meridian, this location sits in the vast expanse of turbulent waters between South Africa and Antarctica. The extremely cold temperature of 8.1 Kelvin creates a foundation of deep, contemplative blues and near-blacks, while the high humidity of 88% gives these colors an inner luminosity that seems to glow from within the canvas. The moderate pressure suggests three horizontal bands with breathing room between them, and the strong wind from the northwest creates soft, vibrating boundaries where the color fields meet and blur into one another.
