Living At The Bottom Of A Sea Of Air

Description

The title of this painting is a paraphrase of the quote by Evangelista Torricelli when he described his findings on the nature of our atmosphere in 1644. As with all of the paintings on this site that use fluorescent paint, the color does not show up correctly. The fluorescent paint is actually bright pink but it shows up as kind of greyish purple under a scanner. I’ve tried a couple different scanners.
