Creative Rationale
Over the Arctic Ocean at 60 degrees north latitude on the Prime Meridian, where the Greenland and Norwegian Seas meet in perpetual twilight. The significant pressure gradient creates dense archaeological layers of paint history, while the extreme temperature anomaly drives chaotic gestural marks breaking through more resolved underlying structures. The high humidity renders previous layers translucent and ghost-like, allowing decades of accumulated marks to show through, while light precipitation adds subtle drip marks suggesting the passage of Arctic time.
