"The seascape, like the landscape, is constantly changing yet it continues to provide an arena to explore the essentials of the visual - color and light, surface, form, opacity and transparency, space and detail -  and then presents a vast open panorama for individual projection. I want to take the simplicity of the line and the plane and turn these into spaces which beckon the imagination, conjure images of travel or romance or in the most recent pieces violence and danger. In this sense my challenge and desire has been to engage a sense of yearning, fantasy or fear that water can elicit and to give form to disembodied and boundless fluidity, providing an experience of nature that is as much felt as seen." - Jacci Den Hartog
