Arctic 60n 90e
Creative Rationale
Over the Siberian Arctic Ocean, where the frozen expanse meets the polar atmosphere, extreme cold mingles with near-saturated air to create a landscape of crystalline intensity. The moderate pressure gradient and gentle southeasterly winds suggest subtle but persistent movement across this harsh terrain, while the temperature anomaly of 29.1 K above the zonal mean creates an unexpected warmth that I interpret through layered, gestural marks building from deep arctic blues toward surprising passages of amber and coral. Following Tannahill's approach to expressive mark-making, I've constructed overlapping organic forms that suggest both the raw energy of arctic weather systems and the delicate crystalline structures formed in high-humidity polar conditions.
