Nancy Graves’ *Moonwater* is the first focused look at the watercolors she made between 1977 and 1982, among the most abstract works of her career. Translucent washes, drips and dry brushwork layer meteorological data, botanical forms, prehistoric cup-and-ring carvings and abstracted snakes, opening the scientific and mapping sources behind her work onto a looser, more intuitive way of making images.
