Creative Rationale

Over the Siberian Arctic plateau east of the Yenisei River, extreme cold meets near-saturated air in a landscape of stark contrasts. The moderate pressure gradient and gentle southeast wind inspire flowing, layered forms that drift across the composition like windswept snow, while the severe temperature anomaly translates into deep arctic blues punctuated by warm ochres suggesting the surprising thermal deviation. The high humidity manifests as overlapping translucent layers that build rich surface textures, echoing Tannahill's intuitive mark-making through organic shapes that balance controlled geometric elements with spontaneous, gestural energy.
