Work on Panel by Mark Westervelt: Shared Personalities

One pale face looks out while a second peeks in from the edge.

This work on panel is by Shared Personalities, and is ca. 2014. It is paint on panel. Faces and figures recur in his work as a way to express inner conditions of the self, and he has said he hopes viewers first think wow and then what. The ground splits into cream at right and a smudged black and gray band at left. A pale face with heavy lids and a red-brown mouth sits at center, and half of another appears at the right edge. Small reversed lettering shows in places. It is 10 inches wide, 1.75 deep and 10 high.

Politely waiting for the other half to join in.
