Little Golden Butterflies (Little Chinese Windows)

Each of Louise's ‘Little Chinese Windows’ depicts a curated vignette of objects arranged as a still life image with image details layered over the top.

This art piece showcases stunning detail of an antique Chinese embroidered ‘Court Robe’ that Louise bought from an art school friend, who runs am amazing vintage clothing fair in London. The embroidery and details on this piece is so incredible; moreover, Louise loves the intricate rolled edges of silk, the cut outs and the layering and the faded colors, all so delicate! You can see that there's a long jade beaded necklace hanging over the top of it alongside embroidered golden butterflies from another silk piece of fabric. The little white dots seen on the black background are actually Chinese engraved white wooden beads. In the bottom left hand corner sits a photo of an old ‘flying kite’ in the shape of a moth that hangs above a mantelpiece in another artist friend’s house in the United Kingdom.
