Arctic 60n 130w
Creative Rationale
Over the Arctic Ocean northwest of Canada's Mackenzie Delta, where the Beaufort Sea meets the polar ice pack, an unusual warm anomaly creates atmospheric instability beneath low pressure systems. The steep pressure gradient demands dense archaeological layers of mark-making, while the significant temperature anomaly drives chaotic gestural breaks through more structured underlying compositions. The high humidity renders previous paint layers translucent and ghostly, creating deep palimpsest effects where fragments of earlier work emerge and dissolve like half-remembered thoughts.
