Arctic 60n 70w

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean northwest of Baffin Island, where sea ice meets open water in the perpetual dance of freeze and thaw, extreme atmospheric conditions create a landscape of memory and forgetting. The steep pressure gradient and significant temperature anomaly drive a composition of aggressive mark-making beneath contemplative layers, while the near-saturated humidity allows deep archaeological glimpses through translucent veils of paint that have been scraped, reworked, and built up over imagined years of studio practice.
