Creative Rationale

Over the remote Arctic wilderness northwest of Great Bear Lake in Canada's Northwest Territories, extreme cold meets saturated air in a landscape of ice and tundra. The extremely low temperature anomaly and near-complete humidity drive a palette of deep blues and whites with subtle warm undertones, while the gentle easterly wind creates soft, flowing gestures across the composition. The low pressure system manifests as dense, layered forms that build texture through overlapping translucent shapes, echoing Tannahill's approach to visible process and gestural mark-making.
