About the Item
Based in Chicago, IL, contemporary artist Michael Thompson creates unique kites, collages and mixed media works assembled from material fragments of past and present collected in his travels. His ongoing series of large-scale kites bridge the gap between flat art and sculpture, each crafted of split bamboo frames covered with stretched canvas and a collage of vintage ephemera – including kimonos, obis, paintings, scrolls, drawings or anything with a story to tell.
Awash in shades of blue and white, a collage of fine Japanese silk evokes the gentle movements of a body of water in this large kite aptly titled “Eb & Flo.” A beautifully patterned kimono silk enlivens the surface with a soft gradient of deep blue to warm crème, textured with a diamond weave and further decorated with subtle metallic details and flower carts laden with blossoms. The swirling color is overlaid with a textile of clouds or lapping waves, woven with shimmering thread and dotted with fallen chrysanthemums, as though floating adrift on the current.
