Creative rationale

Over the Greenland Sea at 60°N, where the Arctic Ocean meets the Norwegian coast, a moderate pressure gradient and strong westerly winds create dynamic atmospheric layers above waters that remain surprisingly warm for the latitude. The significant temperature anomaly of 7°C above normal suggests unusual weather patterns breaking through established seasonal rhythms, which I've interpreted as chaotic gestural marks disrupting more contemplative layered fields. The high humidity of 81% allows deeper archaeological layers to show through translucent upper passages, creating the palimpsest quality central to Tannahill's practice.
