White Top Jostle Close offers one of Story’s most dedicated studies of the dynamic of the water, from the photorealistic bubbles that cascade around the figure as she emerges from the depths to the textured movements at right that are reminiscent of the bold woodcat waves of Hiroshige’s 19th- century prints. White Top Jostle Close showcases a closely cropped scene that gives Story license to explore the tension between abstraction and reality in painted form.
