Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: In the Garden I, Framed

A small collage waits inside a speckled wide frame, with a matted gold-brown inner border.

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2003. 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 small framed work with a wide, gray-speckled outer frame and a dark inner ridge with golden-brown carving. A narrow white mat surrounds a little collage of pale and muted cut scraps and loose lines. It is 15.25 inches wide and 17.25 high.

A tiny scene with an outsized frame to match.
