Arctic 70n 20w
Creative Rationale
Over the Greenland Sea in the high Arctic, where frigid waters meet endless sky, this location experiences a dramatic temperature anomaly of 17.3K warmer than expected, creating atmospheric turbulence that mirrors the conceptual chaos in Tannahill's work. The steep pressure gradient of 23.91 Pa/cell demands dense archaeological layering, while the high humidity of 95% ensures that ghost marks from earlier compositional stages bleed through subsequent paint applications. The near-north wind at 12.4 m/s generates aggressive gestural under-painting that scrapes and scours beneath more contemplative surface work, with light precipitation adding temporal drip marks that suggest the years of reworking inherent in this practice.
