Papillon

This is a quilted artwork inspired by the black-and-white photograph 'Girl in Front of Fireplace in Home Along Levee Near Norco, Louisiana,' taken by Russell Lee in 1938. Bisa Butler’s quilted and appliquéd portrait is made of multiple layers of silk, chiffon, lace, sequins, rhinestones, velvet and polyester, with a varied texture and a 3D effect.
