Masterfully executed - his Folklore Series has captivated me. Westmark explains his application of sewing patterns directly to his canvas:
"The patterns are reinterpreted outside of their usual functional context as garment templates to represent figurative and metaphysical imagery. In this way, I work to shape a narrative that references fable, myth, and folklore. As a garment is made through the assembly of parts cut from sewing patterns, likewise, myths and fables are a kind of fabric cut from human experience."
