Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean at 60 degrees south latitude on the Prime Meridian, in the wild waters between Antarctica and the South Atlantic, extreme cold and high humidity create a misty, ethereal atmosphere. The moderate westerly winds at 10.8 m/s drive dense processions of calligraphic marks across a deep blue-black ground, while the frigid -16.2K temperature calls for a palette of stark whites, silvers, and ice blues against smoky darkness. The high 92% humidity veils the composition in soft, layered atmospheric fields that blur and soften the gestural marks into jazz-like improvisations.
