Over the Coral Sea northeast of Australia, moderate pressure gradients and high humidity create conditions for layered atmospheric complexity. The significant temperature anomaly and westerly winds drive a composition where chaotic gestural marks break through structured layers, while the high humidity ensures earlier painted surfaces remain visible through translucent overlays, creating the deep palimpsest quality characteristic of Tannahill's reworked canvases.
