Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Floats

Two brown figures sit on a ledge and their reflections hang beneath them.

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2014. 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. Two rounded figures in warm brown sit along a horizontal band of black and white debris at middle height. Below it, their long legs hang down a salmon-orange ground. A dull teal sky fills the top. It is 10 inches wide and 10 high.

Sitting on the edge, and perfectly relaxed about it.
