Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean at 45 degrees south latitude on the Prime Meridian, where the Roaring Forties meet the vast emptiness between Africa and Antarctica. The extremely high humidity (94%) drives forms that bleed and dissolve into one another like wet pigment on canvas, while the significant temperature anomaly creates tortured, emotionally charged shapes pressing against the picture plane. The strong wind from the northwest generates aggressive gestural marks that tear through delicate washes, and the light precipitation adds dissolving layers that fragment the underlying biomorphic structure.
