Tropical South America

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 hPa/cell) demands dense layering—years of paint built up and scraped back to reveal geological time. The significant temperature anomaly (8.3°C 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.
