A Page from the Drawing Papers Archive 
This page from Drawing Papers 89  features Untitled, an ink and graphite drawing created by Jerome Marshak 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. 
Marshak’s drawings are influenced by the currents, wind, waves, turbulence, light, sky, and reflections of  the marine landscape that surrounds his studio on Lopez Island.  Using custom made Plexiglas templates inspired by the iconic landscape lines in his view, he traces the highly polished  Plexi edge with a very sharp, fast pencil line.  Small dots, in a palette related to the tones and light phenomena of the particular day, are added next. The rhythmical application of the dots produces a shimmering and blinking reminiscent of light as it hits the water on a bright day. 
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. -Kate Robinson, Bookstore Manager
