"Mountain to Margate (Sea)" which explores the artist's journey from his home in mountainous Nepal to his current home by the sea in Margate, a place to which he was drawn because of J.M.W. Turner's fondness for the particular light and weather he often painted there. The painting becomes an exploration of the very different cloud formations that appear in the two different zones, becoming a long meditation upon the fact that whereas in the mountains one must climb above the clouds to encounter the presence of the sacred, in Margate the sacred comes to meet us as a numinous presence arriving in the clouds that come from out at sea. While the interaction may feel quite different, even opposite, the experience of becoming one with nature and being caught up in the embrace of the clouds remains one and the same.
