Arctic 60n 70w
Creative Rationale
Over the Hudson Bay region of northern Canada, where frigid Arctic air meets the vast frozen landscape, the atmospheric conditions reveal a scene of crystalline stillness punctuated by subtle movement. The extreme cold temperature with its significant positive anomaly suggests an unusual warming event in this polar region, which I interpret through contrasting pools of deep indigo and unexpected warm copper tones that bleed into each other like Frankenthaler's signature stain technique. The near-saturated humidity and gentle wind create an atmosphere of suspended moisture and soft atmospheric veils, rendered as translucent washes that overlap and merge across the canvas with organic, flowing boundaries.
