A vertical drift of tones from pale yellowy-cream at the centre through warm grey at the upper corners toward a deep, almost black lower register — as if water has drawn pigment downward, leaving its own kind of history. The charcoal marks visible beneath the surface layers give Watermarks a palimpsest quality: something written, then overwritten, then written again. One of the most luminous works in the collection, the centre seems almost to glow.
