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.
