Transformation is Jake's response to the tragic 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami. Transforming the horror into palliative, Transformation consists of wild brown and white sea crashing in on itself while white seagulls emerge and weave their flight amid the froth, against a sky of building clouds of yellow, orange and brown.
The tidal wave transformed so many lives. I found myself avoiding the TV so as not to become as transfixed as I was after 9-11, but I had to do something, therefore I got out the biggest canvas I had and began painting. In the end there are more than 160 birds in this painting in addition to the screaming seagull in the foreground. I wanted the point of this work to be clear, hence my visual allusion to Hokusai's Great Wave, which is an image recognizable to most people. -Jake
