A Page from the Drawing Papers Archive
This page from Drawing Papers 89 features Untitled Collage, a drawing made with acrylic on cut paper by Agnes Barley in 2009.
Selections Spring 2010: Sea Marks was comprised of works by Agnes Barley, Jerome Marshak, and Peter Matthews, three artists selected from the Viewing Program who notate, describe, and interpret aspects of the sea. The exhibition examines the capacity of drawing to represent something as dynamic, volatile, and vast as the ocean. Barley’s waveform abstractions investigated each swell, nook, curve, and crash of the waves and ultimately reduced them to spare, hovering shapes that served as placeholders for their original forms.
The Drawing Papers are a series of publications documenting The Drawing Center’s exhibitions and public programs and providing a forum for the study of drawing. For more information on Drawing Papers 89 please click here.
