Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Somewhere in the Flock

Two white and red wings flutter against a field of tiny dark birds.

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2012. It is paint & mixed media on paper. He began using dried paint after drips on a protective plastic sheet struck him as wasteful, and he glued the chips onto his canvas to add texture and found faces in them. A pair of joined, jagged wings in white and red, with two thin stick lines, hangs near the center. Faint lettering sits along the bottom. It is 5 inches wide and 7 high.

A small flock, and one large pair of wings.
