Arctic 60n 70w

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean northeast of Baffin Island, where frigid waters meet the relentless polar winds, a significant pressure gradient creates atmospheric turbulence while an extraordinary temperature anomaly of nearly 17 degrees above normal suggests dramatic climate disruption. The high humidity and moderate winds from the northwest drive this composition toward dense archaeological layering, where multiple paint histories accumulate like sedimentary memory, scraped back and reworked with urgent gestural marks breaking through more contemplative underlayers.
