Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Best Foot Forward

Cut-out figure strides across a ground that ripples like water.

This work on paper is by Best Foot Forward, and is ca. 2012. It is paint & mixed media on paper. 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. A pale figure cut from separate pieces, with a small head and outstretched arms, floats on a wavy ground of mauve and brown ridges. A tiny monogram and red scribbling sit along the bottom edge. It is 5 inches wide and 7 high.

Walks on rippled ground without spilling a drop.
