Arctic 70n 60e
Creative Rationale
Over the Barents Sea in the high Arctic, where icy waters meet the edge of the polar ice pack, extreme atmospheric conditions create a landscape of perpetual transformation. The crushing low pressure system and bitter cold temperatures drive my composition toward dense, layered accumulations of geometric fragments, while the high humidity and light precipitation manifest as translucent veils that obscure and reveal underlying forms. Following Tannahill's palimpsest approach, I've built up multiple strata where earlier angular marks pierce through softer, more organic layers, creating a visual archaeology of this harsh polar environment.
