Qinghua is an embroidery rooted in Chinese tradition, taking as its inspiration the sumptuous decoration of historic porcelain. Vases adorned with flowers and mythical animals are worked in stitch across the cloth, so that a decorative language conceived for a hard, glazed surface is translated into something supple and tactile. The result keeps the poise of its source while gaining the depth and slight irregularity that only embroidery brings.
