Creative Rationale

Over the Altiplano plateau of Bolivia, where thin air creates extreme pressure gradients, the atmospheric data reveals a landscape of cognitive archaeology. The steep pressure gradient (337 Pa/cell) demands dense layering—years of paint built up and scraped back to reveal geological time. The significant temperature anomaly (8.3K above zonal mean) drives chaotic marks breaking through structured fields, while high humidity (88%) ensures that earlier layers ghost through like half-remembered thoughts, creating the palimpsest quality central to Tannahill's practice.
