Europe 45n 30w

Creative Rationale

Over the North Atlantic, southwest of Ireland in the turbulent waters between Europe and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, atmospheric pressure sits at a moderate 1005 Pa with high humidity creating a soggy, dissolving environment. The mild temperature anomaly of just 1.1 K above normal suggests forms that drift rather than torment, while the 11.4 m/s wind from the southwest drives gestural energy through the composition. With 88% humidity and no precipitation, I envision Gorky's biomorphic shapes bleeding into one another like waterlogged memories, earth-toned forms floating in atmospheric space with thin washes allowing underlying structures to show through in dreamlike transparency.
