DEBRA JURSS<br />
I investigate the impact that natural environments can have on our emotions.<br />
Surge expresses the emotions triggered by watching deep ocean water in a physical<br />
location that is my own personal utopia. Powerful ocean surges have their beginnings<br />
far beneath the surface, with only a small part of the movement visible to the landbased<br />
observer. Deep ocean has been a persistent thread throughout my life, and my<br />
visions of what the future of my art and my life can be often come in these environment.<br />
The work was created when I was reaching out for the remembered sense of calm and<br />
contemplation, of refuge and security, that I had in that time and space, when I was<br />
allowing only a small fraction of my emotions to be visible to others.<br />
