the stain of sliding cloud and sea

In starting to discuss the present work, we are immediately confronted by a dearth of terms insufficient to expound a highly poetic contemporary artist born in the crevasses of cultural hybridity and nourished in the no man's lands of ascetic transmutation. How to take up this exhilarating challenge and crack the artist's liminal appeal when standard terminology so deeply disappoints us? Here's a suggestion. Assume a pre-existing Cloudist dictum and see what can be mined to explain the subject in a manner that eludes any convoluted reading of the stain of sliding cloud and sea.
