Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Crazy Smile

A pink and cream patchwork figure strides through a dark, grainy gloom.

This work on paper is by Crazy Smile, and is ca. 2013. It is paint on paper. Because the skins are peeled up, anything painted on them is reversed, so he must write text backwards and paint a figure facing right if it is meant to look left. An unframed work in deep brown and olive with touches of teal. A large figure assembled from coral, cream and patterned strips walks with long legs apart. The face is a flat patchwork of cream and orange. It is 9.5 inches wide and 10 high.

All that patchwork, and still in a hurry.
