The Work
Empire’s Moonlit Garden is a one-of-one framed textile artwork, hand-embroidered silk on silk. The format is square and contained, designed to sit with calm authority on a wall without needing scale to create presence.
The surface is built as a repeat field of tulip forms, held in measured rows across a black ground. Each unit is contained by clean outlines and consistent spacing, so the pattern reads as a single system rather than separate elements. Small red accents and stem details introduce controlled points of energy without breaking the field.
Colour Logic
Colour is used to increase legibility. A deep black base holds the composition. Tulip forms shift between cool blue-grey and ivory, with restrained red accents acting as punctuation. The result reads clearly from a distance, then resolves into stitch texture and line decisions up close.

Authenticity and Colour
Hand embroidery carries natural variation in tension and surface texture. Black reads densest in lower light; the blues and ivories lift most clearly in daylight. Screen settings vary, so colour may differ slightly in person.
