Spawning

First comes the atmosphere to establish this place, this watery place. Blues, greens and the orange of reflected sunlight, layering amongst each other. A sea and a sky with no clear separation. My eye is stopped by a filigree of white light emerging through the horizontal bands of color. Tracing this laciness, I find myself pulling these elements forward and linking them by creating a strong vertical; a masthead, a backbone. It’s perhaps a reference to a life form that may have once been here, dropping its seed for future visions.
