Because I use luxury bags in the creative process, I wanted to recreate a shopping bag with this piece. It begins with a luxury bag that is deconstructed, embroidered and then reconstructed back into a bag shape. Luxury scarf remnants are draped and mounted so they appear to be flowing out of the top. Embroidered butterflies are then dimensionally mounted to appear as though they are bursting from the bag. These pieces are available in 12”x12”, 12”x26” sizes as well as 12”x40” sizes. They can be created using most luxury brands and color combinations depending on chosen size and availability.
12x12x2 inches, framed in acrylic.
