Arctic 60n 70w

Creative Rationale

Over the frozen waters of Baffin Bay, west of Greenland, an extreme arctic system creates a visual palimpsest of memory and forgetting. The remarkably high pressure and gentle winds suggest a stable, contemplative atmosphere, while the brutal cold and high humidity manifest as dense, layered forms that accumulate like sediments of thought. Following Tannahill's approach of reworking surfaces over time, I've created overlapping geometric fragments that emerge from and dissolve back into clouded fields, with cool grays and blues punctuated by warmer undertones that hint at the cognitive processes beneath the surface calm.
