A man walked into my studio while I was applying the underlayer of deep purple on this painting. I work in an art studio which is also a gallery, so people can watch me in the process of creation. The man said the deep purple layer reminded him of the sands of Bali, how when the lava hits the water it fragments into a thousand pieces creating black sand, which, with the reflection from the sky, transformed the water to a deep purple instead of the usual blue. Every time I look at this piece I think of this transformation; how beautifully delicate and explosive that transformation would be. This piece took 40 hours to create over a period of about 3 months. It has particularly deep ridges, which makes it interesting to look at from different angles.
