Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Feather Light

A wiry figure with spiky hair dances across a pale, speckled panel labeled feather.

This work on paper is by Feather Light, and is ca. 2012. It is paint & mixed media on paper. His paint skins are made by painting on plastic and peeling the sheet off, so the side against the plastic is glossy and the side exposed to air is matte. A pale rectangular panel with a gray band across the top reading feather in faint letters, and the word light low at the bottom. A thin, raised figure with a burst of spiky hair and long limbs floats on the splattered white ground. It is 5 inches wide and 7 high.

Light on its feet, and lighter still on the page.
