A horizontally oriented graphite drawing across two off-white sketchbook pages features harbor sketches. To our left, thin vertical strokes and triangles suggest masts above undulating lines. To our right, two tall masts dominate, accompanied by handwritten cursive notes near the top. Below, loose, gestural loops and scribbles suggest water and movement. Quick marks are scattered throughout, leaving significant portions of the paper surface empty.
