This train trestle frames people as they walk under it. I love this view of a silhouette and a translucent umbrella during a rainstorm. The light reflected off the street and the colors of the street light and car lights have a beautiful gem-like quality. Organza, tulle and unconventional materials overlay the custom printed fabric, then all layers are stitched, sliced and layered to add shine, color, contrast, and texture to this piece.
