Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Sink or Swim, Framed

A tiny greenish collage sits in a large mat and a pale, textured frame.

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2005. It is paint & mixed media 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. It sits in a wide cream mat, a thin pale-toned liner and a wide, coarse-textured outer frame. It is 20.5 inches wide and 23.75 high.

All that framing for a very polite whisper.
