Soudain I, Max Ernst, 1962
I love all the texture and the strange density, I think reality has a density that you can always stop to appreciate no matter where you are. The layout of this has a couple of large-scale shapes but there's so much more there because of the texture, like every molecule of yellow and blue and orange etc. is interacting separately with your eyes 🤣

Writing on Solid Ground: Create an Intentional Writing Practice
The first time I took the bus from Pennsylvania to New York City I was surprised to discover that the skyline is not, as I had thought, all skyscrapers. Seen from a westerly approach, there are two distinct clusters of skyscrapers separated by blocks and blocks and blocks of shorter buildings. It seemed weird that the city planners hadn’t built more skyscrapers, given how many people want to live and work in Manhattan.
It was a puzzle I didn’t unlock until I found out about the geology of the island.
Manhattan has two areas of solid bedrock—one in Midtown and one downtown. And that’s where the skyscrapers go.
