Atlantic Crossing, Lone Cloud, 34°58’07”N, 57°24’30”W

In Gartside’s photograph, the ocean appears like a solid mass. Equally divided between sea and sky, the natural world takes on a geometric quality. Atlantic Crossing, Silver Sea was shot days later and, despite the crossing indicated in the title, the featureless sea appears eerily similar to this blue photograph. The two images are part of a series of ten taken while the artist sailed to England.
