About the Item
This piece titled "Great Texas Oil Fire" is an original piece by Han Cao and is made from hand embroidery on a found antique postcard from the 1910s, with cotton thread. This piece measures 16.25"h x 6.25"w framed and is shipped in the featured black frame.
Han Cao is a self-taught artist currently living in Dallas, Texas. She uses embroidery to create new narratives for long-forgotten photographs and postcards found at flea markets and antique shops from around the world. All embroidery on the artwork is done by hand, directly onto the original found image.
Her art combines fibers of embroidery thread with the paper fibers of each photograph to connect with the fibers of our own being – as the added dimension of each work challenges our self-identity and personal connection with unfamiliar people and places.
