"Competing Views" is a unique kite by Chicago-based artist Michael Thompson. It exaggerates Mandarin characters into purely graphic elements. To create his kites, Thompson builds split bamboo frames with bamboo collected from Southern China. Over the bamboo, he stretches muslin, then collages and paints. The kites incorporate Thompson's ephemera from his travels to Asia.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“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.”
