Named after the measurement of depth in bodies of water, Bathymetric Studies translates the logic of contour mapping onto textured canvas. Heavy layers of acrylic paint are pulled across the surface using a wide silicone wedge, creating raised physical ridges, troughs, and points of resistance where the pigment catches on the weave.
Once the foundational relief has dried, fine brush lines are drawn along the elevations and depressions of the paint.

This high-intensity environment enforces a shared physical experience. Prolonged observation saturates the retina, inducing a temporary negative afterimage washed in phantom green; a lingering ghost of the intensity present during its creation. This biological transience is mirrored in the physical materials. The fugitive neon base is designed to gradually fade over time, mimicking the retinal afterimage. As the color recedes, the structural lines beneath emerge, exposing a permanent, stabilized foundation.
