Description
An homage to Gertrude Stein, chairs as rustling feathers, femininity scattered in coloured buttons. A woman with a theatrical-masked face stands in an orange dress strewn with multicoloured buttons; she opens her arms and from her back, like wings, rise compositions of mint-green chairs; at her feet, around a narrow plinth, the buttons form a rhythmic scatter.
