Artist's Statement:

This work was conceived as the virtual realization of an imagined coloristic space, where the evidence of rational perception (such as mapping and geometry) fuses with natural form, archaeological history, and disorientation. Discovered through the Ruins, Linea's images, sounds, and forms were inspired by an immersive sojourn off the coast of Australia. It is based on a former work, no longer existing; a painting in oil and hydrocal relief.

Technical Description:

This piece exists entirely in virtual space.
