"Standing in the Shadow of Nature" is a kite by Chicago based artist, Michael Thompson. He creates unique kites crafted from split bamboo frames covered with stretched muslin and a collage of vintage Asian ephemera -- including kimonos, obis, paintings, scrolls, drawings, and book pages collected on his travels. This work is finished with an abstract painting of a person in a forest. Here the ephemera is peeking out behind the trees. Michael Thompson has been creating kites for more than a decade. His kites have been exhibited internationally.

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
