Inspired by living in Milford Sound, NZ. Leaping into the water was made extra exciting by a natural phenomenon making the water incredibly dark. The salty fiord water is overlayered by a 2m layer of fresh water from the rain and waterfalls, meaning very little light can penetrate into the salt water. Sea life usually only found at greater depths flourishes close to the surface.

Oil paint and marine varnish on board.
