Description
A constellation as a frame around a single woman, the cosmos hidden in panels of gilded ornament, the dress — the only set of stars she needs. From within an ornate golden picture frame emerges a woman in a pale-blue silk gown; she rests her elbows on the frame's edge, her head on her hand; around her, against a black ground, hover red mirror-balls like planets.
