Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Bent Over Backwards, Framed

A deep bow in dark clothes, with a small head dangling from one hand.

This work on paper is by Bent Over Backwards, and is ca. 2012. It is paint on paper. He began using dried paint after drips on a protective plastic sheet struck him as wasteful, and he glued the chips onto his canvas to add texture and found faces in them. A framed collage of a figure bent sharply forward at the waist, dressed in black and white patterned cut. A tiny head hangs at the hand near the bottom. It is 16 inches wide, 1.5 deep and 18.25 high.

A very polite bow, with an unusual way of carrying a head.
